The 8 Best Telemark Skiing for Man

This is the super guide 95 by scott for. 2017 this ski is my joint favorite ski. And my kind of skier the year last year unofficially hit the test it hasn't changed this year in terms of the actual geometry and materials it's just a cosmetic change it's still my ski review and create this on it's just so good 95 underfoot doesn't ski like it. Extremely versatile it is designed to be an all-mountain back country towing. Scheme officially it's a nice. Binding the ski is not the lightest touring ski out there but it's the most planted by miles this and the super got 88 my other ski which i do have paired of our so planted you can use it all day the front side ski and then go out the. Backcountry it's light enough to do that it runs at about the 1314 hundred grand. Mark the light is towing ski to be about 1,100 the heaviest about 1600 the 1100. Skis 500 gram skis to me are two skitty this ski just feels like a normal ski that's light enough to tour on reason for that is you obviously 95 underfoot you've got the sort of the overlay. Sidewalls here so the roundest sidewalls just from the ski by scott on the ski by. Scott I'm not a huge fan ski and i don't feel they had that much in terms of. The performance of ski on this he really does twice all the power to the edges, so he puts a wide ski got loads of turn and. Hook hold on that's nice and smooth on a turn nice rocker here flat tail did you. No shape but it has a little bit of flick rock on there and you've got your specialist done sort skin connections. Right here which some jade consuming on we do the skins for those or you can just run a normal skill I'm gonna get coal mine the glue this because i love blue love skins and it fits just fine and centers on that very nicely always niceness a little bit of a point there for the skins you can monitor any touring binding I've run it mines with a kingpin it's got a tittle plate underneath to give it a rock-solid um sort of adhesion when you've been screwed in but also for torsional rigidity when you're turning and you also have 3d side cut so i can't give you the turn radius on this its variable push it down hard the side cut shortens. But let it go you've got 25 meter turns radius it's super smooth super versatile to finish off with and another zoom opportunity here you got the carbon arrow me to cross fibers here what that does is give the ski torsional rigidity and reduces the weight they can run a lightweight wood core paulínia and lights off the wood core but these tri-axial fibers here keep the skin nice and stiff so as i said it's still my ski of the year i love the colorway this year and yet in wax blue so I've got have a pair of these this ski he's going bucket around right behind james in the camera there right now this is the super guard 95 2017.

This is the scott super guide 95 turns. Skinny it's a lightweight turn ski not. Aiming to be the lightest on the market by its aiming at somebody who doesn't. Want to compromise on the downhill skiing performance of their skiing if you hike up ski tour out you don't want. To then ski that amazing off piece and. Sacrifice what you're skiing by the ski. Not being able to perform when it wants to so the idea of the super guide 95 is. As you can see this carbon top sheet. Here these stringers give you a. Supportive feel underfoot super grippy. If it's icy if is you know a little bit sketchy traverse that you're having to do but it also gives you a kind of power. And rebound in the ski so you're not gonna compromise in hard snow it will. Power and push through cruddy snow all. In all it is a superb ski that yes it's. The turning ski but actually it's a pretty amazing ski that you could ski all over the mountain on also with the. Super guide 95 ski there's a skin that's available that's already trimmed to fit. The ski it also has these integrated hooks on the top which just slot. Conveniently into the tip of the ski here what that means is you get a very. Strong secure fear it's not going to come off obviously six to the ski and then clips. On in the same way on the tail so this is the super guide 95 it's available at. Ski Bartlett and also on our website at ski Bartlett calm.

This is the scott super guide 105 it's a. Lightweight touring ski but not aiming at a super lightweight skier is aiming at somebody who wants light for. The tour up but they don't want to. Compromise on the ski down it's a wide 105 ski so it is going to be good off. Piste but the beauty of this is with these carbon stringers that you can see there across the ski it gives you torsion ally a sort of grippy rigid feel. So a if you're skiing down it's going to. Give you that lovely performance feel a lot of turns to turn it's going to charge through crud heavy snow but also if you. Are on a skin and you're on a steep. Terrain you need to make sure that skis reliable on its edge and these carbon stringers will allow that grip to happen so the scott super guide 105 is a great. Ski for somebody who wants lightweight but with absolutely no compromise on the. Downhill and it is you know if you're the person that wants that superb floaty. Feel off piece this is definitely going to be the ski for you it's available in-store at ski Berkeley or you can as well. Buy it online at ski Bartlett calm.

So i found the ski touring winner this. Year this boat is the atlantic's 84 carbon. Looks really nice it's really light as well super light but I'm sure that doesn't affect the performance in a negative way yeah like the look at this ski like to try it out alam slovenian ski maker you. No very traditional ski maker, but they're doing some really innovative designs these days so I'm looking. Forward to testing this somewhere this winter.

Hi it's david here from action outdoors. And you cpa uk and I'm joined by megan. And we've been testing back country skis. Today and this one you don't have to be very strong to pick this one up super lightweight ski carbon fiber. Carbon fiber down there the bridge where. It's at 84 underfoot this is very much. Of a of an uphill ski touring ski and to. Be honest i didn't expect very much i. Was skiing down and while I've come down with a big grin in my face cuz this ski. Was really good we just skied on the. Piste but it was really grippy we made short radius turns long radius turns carving yeah it's not a piece carving. Ski but we could still carve some turns so that's super good with a very short. Run in some icy chopped up off-piste and. What was nice was a there wasn't either. Much vibration often a light ski will vibrate a lot, so we've done a good job. At damping, it according to the guys it's all to do this bridge thing done here it's got a definite v shape to this ski. And that has a lot to play for the damping megan what did you think so i. Thought these were absolutely fantastic i mean similar to david in the sense of they are so light that i really thought. That coming down quite a hard pack piece that the vibration would be pretty. Pretty consistent but they are really. Really good i was loving my short turns on them I'd say in the carving i didn't. Get that pink around but it's not really. What they're made for but for touring i mean you cannot complain they are so light and i think. They're fantastic
