Nordic backcountry skiing means many things to many people, from lightweight cruising in the woods to full-on mountain skiing in all conditions. Whatever version of backcountry skiing you prefer, Skinny Skis brings you backcountry Nordic skis from brands like Madshus and Rossignol with the key qualities we thought essential for this type of ski – light weight, good grip and glide, versatility, and especially, turning performance. The Cross Country Downhill Line is a blending of two ends of the Nordic spectrum: the incredible ability of Nordic skis to cover snowy terrain with speed and efficiency, simplicity of a no-wax kick pattern, and the superior downhill turning abilities of skis with pronounced sidecut.
