Product Description

Åsnes Kongsvold BC Skis

The Kongsvold BC ski is an easy-turning backcountry ski with good carrying capacity, designed for hunters, forest walkers, and deep snow enthusiasts. This ski does not have steel edges, making it dog-friendly and ideal for those who often ski with a companion.

The ski has a soft tip and a large support surface, providing good flow and turnability. It has an extra stiff middle section and more torsional stiffness than traditional mountain skis, which allows for skis that are up to 10 cm shorter.

Kongsvold BC is stable, easy to turn, and can handle demanding terrain. If you are a steady skier and the conditions are good, you can even drive parallel turns with this ski. It is a faithful friend for winter hunting in the tree line or skiing in the forest.

For ski length, we recommend choosing a length that is approximately your body length or slightly longer. The recommended width for X-skin short pips is 58mm, but if you want better glide on flat areas, X-skin 45mm Mohair is a good alternative as pips number two.
