Fischer Rebound Crown Ski
|
The Fischer Rebound Crown Ski can handle any snowy surface, steep or flat. Steeper, deeper and wide open plains; it’s all good with the Fischer Rebound Crown Ski. Fischer’s S-deck system gives you extra lift and leverage to help initiate turns, and the turning crown scales won’t make you eat snow on a hard turn. The Rebound Crown also features one of the most serious sidecuts found anywhere on a Nordic ski to help float the ski and turn smoothly, even in the fluffy stuff. It's a solid ride for distance touring without fuss; ski rolling terrain and long moderate climbs with ease, all without having to deal with complicated waxing patterns and temperatures. For an awesome Hybrid telemark/cross country setup, mount up a 3-pin system and you’ll be able to handle anything with snow on it.

A great ski that can turn.
I ski in the Sierra Nevada’s. Wet snow, dry snow, hot, and cold; the weather can be, well, unpredictable. Then I get to contend with people on snow shoes and others who posthole the tracks. This ski just gets through it all. It is narrow enough for tracks, wide enough for float in dry snow, has enough sidecut for great turns when the trail sucks, and light enough to be friendly on the uphills with the softened camber that makes climbing steeper ungroomed trails a breeze. This ski works, and it is bomb proof. I bought a pair for the distaff side, and she smiled the whole way. Backcountry sales staff were true to form as usual: knowledgeable, helpful, laid-back, friendly, and with the best deals in the country. Backcountry makes shopping for the best gear easy.

Training Tips
Low weight, high rep circuit training combines the best of both worlds: aerobic and anaerobic training. Keeping the rest time in between high repeats low excercises like bench press, leg presses, inclined sit-ups, and upright rows is the key to maximum benefits.
As a long distance runner, a gradual increase in distance each week will allow you to build a solid areobic base. Distance increase should be no more than 10% of the previous week's distance.
When buying a new pair of running shoes, bring your old ones with you. You will get a better fit if you know if you supinate or pronate.
Heart monitors are useful for knowing when you are in the right zone for your training efforts. If you understand what your maximum heart rate is, you can set up your monitor to beep at you when you exceed the high or low range of your heart rate for the type of workout you are doing.
