Short Discussion of my Asnes Falketind 62 Skis and NNN BC Bindings (Second Time on Them!)

Just a short video discussing my Asnes Falketind 62 skis after testing them out on some more consolidated yet graupel-type snow.

They are a lot different than any of my Fischer backcountry cross-country skis. The Falketinds are really soft (camber) and enable you to engage the edges more consistently with the snow. But they're light and responsive requiring you to really keep them in a parallel position lest they start drifting and wandering. Basically, they're not a heavy ski so the snow is going to try and push them around. That, and you definitely have to get the correct edge angle when downhilling on them.

Anyway, I wouldn't call this video a review. But I've been wanting to get out there and test these skis a bit more (and people have been asking me about them). So, I hope this provides a little more insight on the Asnes Falketind 62s :)

I've produced this collection of articles and videos about backcountry travel and exploration with the beginner and intermediate adventurer in mind. This is the demographic for whom I most often served while working in the Lake Tahoe outdoor recreation industry. In essence, these informational projects I create and publish are extensions of the many conversations we've had over the years.

Please note that, although I encourage you to venture out of your comfort zone, you need to know your limits and when to turn back. Tahoe Trail Guide and its contributors are not liable for property loss or damage, personal injury, or death. Always consult multiple sources when venturing into the backcountry. Always be prepared for the worst case scenario. Your safety is your responsibility.
