Åsnes Ingstad Waxless Ink Rottefella Xplore Bindning

Ski: Åsnes Ingstad Waxless

Binding: Rottefella Xplore Binding

  We of course install the binding. Just let us know the size of the boot.

Ingstad is a modern touring ski with a generous sidecut. Built for speed and to be responsive in the turns.

The Ingstad is an ideal ski for demanding descents, but is equally at home on long traverses over flat terrain. Its versatility comes from its binding 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: fractionally over 2 kg for a pair of 200 cm skis.

Ingstad skis are equipped with Skinlock, ready for X-Skin to be attached at a moment's notice for climbing. For this ski we recommend a 58mm nylon X-Skin for wet and steep terrain or a narrower mohair skin (45mm) for cold temperatures and flat terrain.

Helge Ingstad, once governor of Greenland and Svalbard, was known as a trapper, polar hero and scientist. He published several bestsellers about hunting in Canada, Greenland and Svalbard. Through this work he contributed to the creation of the heroic representations 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.

Choose the right length

Ski length is determined based on body weight and height. The table is only a guide, but experience, skill, terrain and individual needs can all influence your choice of length.

For beginners, short skis are easier to control. If you mainly ride trails, length is not the most important factor. To float well in deep snow, a lighter and wider ski is useful. Lighter skiers may consider a shorter ski; heavier skiers a longer ski. Skiers with loads such as backpacks and sleds may consider a longer ski.
