4 Telemark Skiing Free your heel, free your mind. Ski the steeps with these beauties. Whether you ski in resorts or gullies and slopes of the backcountry, new-generation ski equipment will really get you going. Telemark/AT Skis Pattern based cross over ski between the worlds of ski touring and pure telemark A lightweight, narrow-waisted touring ski ideal for hut trips and classic ski traverses, the Link 90 is all about lightweight backcountry performance. The AMPerage is a big wide ski for serious telemarkers. Its deep sidecut, 115 mm waist, full tip and tail rocker and underfoot camber add up to a ski that will handle powder with ease and is also comfortable. A wide-bodied touring ski equally adept at mellow powder tours and serious ski mountaineering objectives, the Black Diamond Aspect has the chops for nearly any day in the backcountry. For Australian telemark skiers, ideally suited to our snow conditions, but will also do the job nicely for your next skiing trip overseas. The women's specific version of the Wayback has a trimmer waist and is lighter. At Bogong, we've carefully selected this product for Australian telemark skiers. CLEARANCE The svelte 88mm waist makes for hard carving and quick turning while still giving you enough width to make the most of a pow day. page 4 FISCHER S-Bound 125 Weight: 3150g pair (175cm) Dimensions: 125/95/120 Lengths (cm): 165, 175, 185 BD Link 90 Weight: 2900g pair (176cm) Dimensions: 127/90/113 Lengths (cm): 166, 176, 186 BD Amperage Weight: 4100g pair (175cm) Dimensions: 141/115/123 Lengths (cm): 175, 185, 195 BD Aspect Weight: 3000g pair (176cm) Dimensions: 128/90/117 Lengths (cm): 166, 176, 186 K2 Wayback Weight: 2550g pair (174cm) Dimensions: 126/88/113 Lengths (cm): 174 only K2 Talkback Weight: 2350g pair (160cm) Dimensions: 126/88/113 Lengths (cm): 160 only BD Velvet Weight: 3203g pair (165cm) Dimensions: 123/88/112 Lengths: 166 only $ now $ was now $599.95

Perfect for example for the Haute Route (see the picture above). It well fits Dynafit's reputation for making the lightest gear around. With a flexible Semi-Rocker shovel and the sidewall construction, the Stoke is great for both powder snow and more challenging terrain. Dynafit offer their specific skin fitting system at the tip and Dynafit skins may be availabe as a special order. For technical missions where soft-snow performance is still paramount, the Link 95 draws inspiration from both rockered powder boards and light touring skis. The AMPerage is for the serious backcountry tourer. It weighs more than a classic touring ski but gives absolutely top notch performance. It has deep sidecut, 115 mm waist, full tip and tail rocker and underfoot camber and performs well in soft snow, think Japan, but also holds an edge well on piste. A wide-bodied touring ski equally adept at mellow powder tours and serious ski mountaineering objectives, the Black Diamond Aspect has the chops for nearly any day in the backcountry. Ideally suited to our snow conditions, but will also do the job nicely for your next skiing trip overseas. The women's specific version of the Wayback has a trimmer waist and is lighter.
