Perfect Versatile Beginner/ Intermediate Ski's

By Adam Benson Ranked #28 - Cross Country Skiing February 11, 2011

First of all let me say that this is an excellent piece of equipment for a beginner who is interested in exploring the various conditions of nordic skiing. As an experienced snowboarder and winter sports enthusiast I've found this equipment a welcome addition to my gear cache. Over the last month or so I've been lucky enough to test these skis in a variety of conditions-- groomed track in Yellowstone, packed trail with the dog, slush snow on the golf course, and even in some waist-deep (when postholing off the skis) fluff. From glide to float I've loved every minute of these skis. They were able to handle each condition with the ability and grace of a ski deserving the all-around touring moniker. I don't think I would recommend these if someone was focusing on really developing into an expert in one particular condition of skiing (that's why they make all that specific stuff, right?) but I can't imagine how a casual, all-around piece of equipment could get much better! If you consider yourself to be a casual or beginner skier I would highly recommend this ski for whatever you may encounter while doing mixed Nordic.
