Description
Combat NATO BC from Åsnes are wide touring skis with good glide that are suitable for both deep snow and steeper terrain. The skis are developed for the military and therefore have good walking and skiing properties as long as they are chosen in the right length.
Combat Nato BC has titanium reinforcements in the binding area and holes in the tail where the climbing skin can be attached to sit better even at very low temperatures. In the nose, there are reinforced holes to be able to use the skis as makeshift sleds during evacuation. Fasten the tent, tarp, or tarpaulin between the skis and you have a sled!
If you want to use climbing skins, we recommend that you purchase X-skin 45mm Mohair for cold conditions and flat terrain. If you are instead moving in steep terrain, wider climbing skins are needed, such as X-skin 58mm Nylon.
Choice of ski length
The ski length is determined by body length and weight. The table below is meant as a guide and should not be followed slavishly. Skill level, terrain, weight, snow conditions, and individual needs are factors that affect the choice of length.
General advice: when skiing in difficult terrain, a shorter ski is required compared to when skiing in open landscapes. For beginners, it is usually easier to maneuver a shorter ski. If you only ski in groomed tracks, the length is less important, and instead, the flex is important. A person who weighs less than average should have a shorter ski, and a person who is heavier should have a longer ski. If you frequently carry heavy loads, a longer ski is also preferable.
