Åsnes Ingstad BC Backcountry ski

The perfect ski for steeper terrain, deeper snow and demanding descents. The Ingstad BC is a modern back country ski with a generous sidecut, built for speed and agile turns.

An ideal ski for demanding descents and extended traverses across flat terrain alike, its versatility comes from a moderate wax pocket, a pronounced Nordic rocker, and a tapered tip: it is stable, willing to turn, and easy to handle in deep snow and demanding terrain.

The ski’s triple core of paulownia and poplar allows a low weight: a pair of 200cm skis is fractionally over 2kg.

Ingstad BC skis are equipped with Skinlock, ready for a climbing skin to be attached in an instant for climbing. 

Ski length

Ski length is determined on the basis of body length and weight. The table here is intended as an aid and must not be followed slavishly. Skiing skills, terrain, weight, packing and individual needs / habits are factors that influence the choice of length.

General advice: Skiing in rough terrain requires shorter skis than open mountain ranges. For beginners, it will often be easier with short skis. If you only ski in pisted tracks, length does not matter much in terms of how well / poorly you float in the snow, then it is instead the tension that is important. If the person is lighter than average, the user should consider shorter skis, and vice versa if he is heavier. If you often go with heavy packing, the skis should be a little longer
