Alpina Cross Terrain Touring Ski
We've been waiting for a long time for a ski like this to come out. The Cross Terrain is a waxless cross country touring ski with significant shape and width to it. (This has the same dimensions that teleskis used to have a couple of years ago!) Are you frustrated by a lack of control with your skinny skis when you point 'em downhill? Try the Alpina Cross Terrain. Short and stable, with an assertive Posigrip base, the Cross Terrain brings a new dimension to your skiing. This is a fun ski for cruising through the woods on undulating terrain that turns well.

great light touring ski
I have used the skis a couple of times. Conditions have been deep and heavy so I have not seen the full ability of the ski. Waiting for the 4-6 inches of superlight and expect the ski will perform admirably. Moves fast and effortlessly through the pow. Perfect ski for the rolling terrain on Rabbit Ears Pass outside of Steamboat Springs.
The lightest all-round big mtn. ski for alpine touring
My position description requires me to be out on the mountain daily conducting snow surveys, terrain assessment dangers and contacting/educating the public. I have to have a ski that is light weight and capable of skiing everything. I only wear skins when I have to, it takes time to apply them and then remove them again. To me any extra weight equals how fast I can respond to situations as they occur, I have to be able to travel
