Ingstad is a modern touring ski with a generous sidecut. Built for speed and to be responsive in turns.
Ingstad is an ideal ski for demanding slopes, but is equally at home on long traverses over flat terrain. Its versatility comes from its attachment structure and a pronounced Nordic Rocker and tapered tip, which makes it stable, easy to turn and offers control in deep snow and demanding terrain.
The ski's triple core of paulownia and poplar allows a low weight: fractionated over 2 kg for a pair of 200 cm skis.
Ingstad skis are equipped with Skinlock, ready for X-Skin to be attached in an instant for climbing. For this ski, we recommend a 58 mm X-Skin in nylon for wet and steep terrain or a narrower mohair skin (45 mm) for cold temperatures and flat terrain.
Helge Ingstad, once governor of Greenland and Svalbard, was known as a trapper, polar hero and researcher. He published several bestsellers about hunting in Canada, Greenland and Svalbard. Through this work he contributed to the creation of the heroic depictions of the hunter's adventurous life. Ingstad was also a researcher with a special interest in Arctic history and ethnography that contributed to our knowledge of the cultures of polar societies and the Nordic settlements in North America.
