The feedback you left on our website convinced us to include protective skin netting with our touring skis starting in September 2021. 
Store the skins on the net to keep the glue fresh.

Mountain touring is cross-country skiing in the mountains.
Go for it—create your high-altitude route far from the resorts.
Go back down to where the snow looks good and the risk of avalanche is lower.
For an authentic cross-country skiing experience.
Good technique, proper preparation, and a thorough understanding of avalanche safety equipment are required, given the natural challenges of the mountains.
Never head out alone.

Features

Tour Free ski touring pin bindings with ski brakes.
DIN 4 to 10
You don't need a leash because you have ski brakes. Ski brakes make it easier to get your ski boots on and they’re safer than a leash in case of an avalanche. Use your ski pole to switch between 3 riser positions (1 flat and 2 climbing positions) without taking your boots out of the bindings. To switch to climbing mode, press the heel support on the ski brake to turn the heel piece. Compatible with Wedze and Dynafit ski crampons.

Bindings

Free Tour bindings are compatible with ski boots with pin inserts. 
Ski length = 162 cm/Binding adjustment for boots from 257 mm to 307 mm (10.1” to 12”)
Ski length = 170 cm/Binding adjustment for boots from 267 mm to 317 mm (10.5” to 12.5”)
Ski length = 178 cm/Binding adjustment for boots from 287 mm to 337 mm (11.3” to 13.3”)
Adjustment requires a torx screwdriver or socket wrench (8 mm/) and a small and a large slotted screwdriver. If you can, get your bindings adjusted in the store.

Binding adjustment

The skins are precut to fit the sidecuts of the skis. Made of 70% mohair and 30% synthetic material for the ideal balance between gliding performance (when climbing in order to save energy) and grip (when climbing to avoid backsliding). The skins are fitted with a metal clip on the front to fit most ski tips and an adjustable camlock on the back to fasten the skin to the tail of the ski. Let your skins dry thoroughly in the open air.

Ski skins

The MT 90 Ski is designed with a Karuba wooden core and carbon along the length of the ski.

The advantage? A responsive, lightweight product.

Structure

Semi-cap construction helps avoid chipping when your skis cross.
Predominantly black bases for easy repairs.

Durability

Ready-to-use waxed and sharpened skis. Edge sharpened to 89°.

Preparation

The skis make contact with the ground near the tip and tail, while the waist (under the bindings) is slightly raised (this is the camber). The longer and higher the camber, the greater the edge grip, and the more responsive the ski. The lower the camber, the more forgiving the ski and the better the handling.

What is the rocker?

On a rocker ski, the tip and sometimes the heel curve up off the ground: this moves the point of contact more to the centre of the ski. It shortens the surface of the ski in contact with the snow: the skis are easier to handle and more buoyant on soft snow. When leaning into turns, the edge length offers more grip on hard pack. A longer rocker improves handling.

What is a rocker?

Light rocker at the nose and tail, camber under the foot. This shape provides manoeuvrability and tolerance in changing snow conditions. It has the manoeuvrability of a shorter ski when side-slipping and the stability of a longer ski when you use the ski edges.

Autoride rocker

The sidecut is determined by 3 measurements: the width of the tip (front of ski), the waist (middle of ski) and tail (back of ski). The wider the tip, the easier the turn entry. The narrower the waist, the stronger the grip on hardpack. The wider the waist, the more comfortable and stable the ski in different snow conditions. 

What are ski sidecuts?

Skis are more responsive the shorter they are. 
That's why beginners are better off with shorter skis. 

For ski touring, we generally recommend you choose skis 
5 cm to 10 cm (2” to 4”) shorter than your height. 
Length can also vary according to your ski location: 
At a resort or on marked trails: from 5 cm to 15 cm (2” to 6”) less than the skier’s height 
In the mountains: from 0 cm to 10 cm (0” to 4”) less than the skier’s height.
