Choice of length<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHhe right length of cross-country BC skis for you is determined by several factors. These are weight, skill, and height.\r\n\r\nOn the \u00c5snes website, every model has its own table for weight, height and length. All skis are designed and built to bring out specific properties. So the tables are (for the most part) different. These tabled are very useful \u2013 but they\u2019re only a guide. They\u2019re definitely not the law (we\u2019ll say why below). Here is an example:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the example here, you can see we\u2019re recommending that you buy these skis about 15\u201320cm longer than your own height \u2013 but weight is pretty decisive for most of us. We\u2019ll get back to that, too…\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Camber?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nCamber<\/a> \u2013 the height and stiffness of the ski\u2019s central \u201carch\u201d \u2013 has a very specific function in cross-country BC skis. And it\u2019s measured differently. The camber\u2019s designed to afford the ski specific properties appropriate to where it\u2019s \u201csupposed\u201d to be used and the way power\u2019s transferred for forward propulsion and turns. There\u2019s not so much point in measuring a specific grip zone in cross-country BC skis as there is in classic langrenn cross-country skis built for the tracks.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nCross-country skiing in the backcountry, good grip\u2019s the first priority. Instinctively, we think about the grip zone, the area centred under the camber. But accounting for load (a pack or a pulk), skill level, terrain and conditions, and the use of skins, there are so many factors that it becomes impossible to calculate a specific a wax pocket.Now, we often see online that this is supposed to be measured by pushing the ski\u2019s contact surface down to the ground with our body weight and noting where that contact starts and finishes. But with most cross-country BC skis, this method\u2019s not massively useful. For a start, it only tells us something about the stiffness in the middle part of the ski. The length of the camber varies according to the ski\u2019s shape, the curve fabricated into the wooden core, and the way stiffness is distributed along the ski\u2019s full length.\r\n\r\nMost cross country BC skis are developed for buoyancy and propulsion in snow; this is achieved through a stiff middle section and decreasing resistance to pressure towards the front and rear skis. The camber is tuned so that you don\u2019t entirely squash the centre section when you move it forward. In this way, friction against the wax pocket is almost halved. You save effort and reduce mechanical wear-and-tear on skis and skins.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

General advice<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTravel in rugged terrain calls for shorter skis than the open plateau and flats. Beginners might find shorter skis easy to handle. If you spend a lot of time on tracks, length isn\u2019t a factor, because float isn\u2019t an issue; instead, what\u2019s important is camber. People with low body weight might prefer slightly shorter skis, heavier people longer skis. Also remember to factor in your own body weight and the weight of pack or pulk if you\u2019re going to choose a ski for long trips.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Basic rules of thumb<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nGeneral rules of thumb related to the construction of skis are quite universal. It\u2019s a question of physics and design orthodoxy. For example: a wide ski has more material in it so it might be stiffer than a narrow ski.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Choosing the right length?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Vekt faktoren er viktigst for de fleste<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn the first place, ski length is determined by height, weight, and skill. And as we\u2019ve shown in the example table above, weight is one of the parameters.\r\n\r\nFor some, height and weight are difficult to square on the tables. This is all right: people are very different. So are skis, for that matter. But if you\u2019re unsure about the length, we\u2019d recommend prioritising your weight, the ski’s grip and your skill.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Good grip is the most important priority!<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAgain, most cross-country BC skis are designed to afford buoyancy and propulsion in snow. This is achieved through a stiff middle section and decreasing resistance to pressure towards the front and rear skis. The camber is tuned so that you don\u2019t entirely squash the centre section when you move it forward. In this way, friction against the wax pocket is almost halved. You save effort and reduce mechanical wear-and-tear on skis and skins.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhat this means is that, choosing a length, it\u2019s a good idea to settle on a ski neither too stiff nor too soft for your own weight. The aim is a ski that grips as well as it can while maintaining the properties required for gliding forward. Begin with weight in the table. That\u2019s more likely to lead you to an appropriate length.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Factors playing a role in the choice of length and model<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you want to be really secure in your choice length, there are several factors at play. The most prominent are weight, skill, use, terrain, whether you have a dog with you and extra load.<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHere\u2019s an overview of the connections between these factors and what this means when you have to assess the correct length. This provides valuable context when reading the table.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Logisk nok, s\u00e5 er det en sammenheng mellom lengden p\u00e5 en ski og stivheten i skiens lengderetning. Dette gjelder egentlig alle typer ski. Det betyr at om man velger en for kort ski i forhold til egen kroppsvekt, s\u00e5 blir den for myk, og man tramper den derfor flat og vil gli d\u00e5rligere. Omvendt, s\u00e5 vil en for lang ski bli for stiv og man vil ha problemer med \u00e5 tr\u00e5kke den flat nok til \u00e5 f\u00e5 godt feste og fraspark.
Veier du 75kg og er 175cm h\u00f8y, vil man i utgangspunktet g\u00e5 for en 190cm lang ski.
Veier du 85kg og er 175cm, vil man i utgangspunktet g\u00e5 for en 200cm lang ski.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

For en nybegynner eller uerfaren, vil feste v\u00e6re av enda h\u00f8yere prioritet enn en for en dyktigere skil\u00f8per, som kanskje i st\u00f8rre grad prioriterer god glid. I tillegg til dette vil en kortere ski v\u00e6re enklere \u00e5 h\u00e5ndtere enn en lengre ski, rett og slett fordi den er kortere. Dette har spesielt betydning om man \u00f8nsker en ski som er lettere \u00e5 kj\u00f8re i nedoverbakkene. Men husk, en kortere ski glir ikke like godt som en lengre ski.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Hva du prim\u00e6rt tenker \u00e5 bruke skien til spiller en viktig rolle. Om du kun planlegger korte turer, \u00abenkle toppturer\u00bb og vil ha mest glede av nedkj\u00f8ringene \u2013 f.eks med telemarksbindinger \u2013 s\u00e5 kan du kanskje slippe unna med en kortere ski fordi denne er enklere \u00e5 svinge med og god glid ikke er s\u00e5 viktig for deg.
Skal du derimot ha en ski til lengre turer, oppakning og variert bruk, s\u00e5 vil du kanskje irritere deg over at skiene ikke har god nok glid om du velger de for korte. Da b\u00f8r du derimot velge en mellomting eller en lengre ski om du har ferdighetene til dette.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Hvilket terreng du prim\u00e6rt skal bruke skiene i, vil i sammenheng med bruket ditt spille inn p\u00e5 valg av type ski og lengden p\u00e5 den.
Ferdsel i ulent terreng krever kortere ski enn \u00e5pne fjellvidder hvor en smalere og lengre ski med god framdrift ofte er prioritet. G\u00e5r man mye i oppkj\u00f8rte spor spiller lengde liten rolle med tanke p\u00e5 hvor godt man flyter i sn\u00f8en, da er det spennet som er avgj\u00f8rende, og man velger derfor typisk lengre og smal ski med godt spenn i forhold til vekt (som med langrennski).<\/p><\/div><\/div>

\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\tOppakning: Ekstra vekt p\u00e5 ryggen = tyngre skil\u00f8per<\/span><\/div>

Som vi har v\u00e6rt inne p\u00e5, s\u00e5 b\u00f8r man plukke en fjellski som er fornuftig med tanke p\u00e5 egen kroppsvekt, alts\u00e5 stiv nok til \u00e5 b\u00e6re deg selv, men myk nok til \u00e5 f\u00e5 feste p\u00e5. Det finner man ut av ved \u00e5 isolert velge lengde basert p\u00e5 kroppsvekt i tabellene. Men i det man tar p\u00e5 seg en sekk som veier 20kg, s\u00e5 blir man naturligvis tyngre n\u00e5r man legger sammen kroppsvekt og vekten av sekken.
Dessverre finnes det ikke et \u00abkinderegg\u00bb valg i skilengde, som b\u00e5de vil passe en skil\u00f8per p\u00e5 50kg og en skil\u00f8per p\u00e5 70kg. Derfor b\u00f8r man vurdere et skipar nummer to, eller n\u00f8ye vurdere hva man prim\u00e6rt bruker skiene til om man g\u00e5r mye p\u00e5 tur med tung sekk. En ski som skal fungere optimalt med 20kg sekk p\u00e5 ryggen, vil kanskje v\u00e6re vanskelig \u00e5 f\u00e5 feste p\u00e5 n\u00e5r man g\u00e5r uten sekk og totalt sett veier 20 kg mindre.
Tanken er som f\u00f8lger (basert p\u00e5 tabell-eksempelet):

Veier du 75kg og er 175cm h\u00f8y, vil man i utgangspunktet g\u00e5 for en 190cm lang ski i tabellen.
Om man derimot alltid g\u00e5r med 15kg sekk, s\u00e5 blir regnestykket 75kg (egenvekt) + 15kg (oppakning) = 90kg (total egenvekt). Da m\u00e5 man selv om man er 175cm h\u00f8y gjerne velge en ski som er 200-210cm lang.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

“Fjellski” \u2013 cross-country skis for the backcountry<\/h3>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n

Cross-country skis for the backcountry (or fjellski as we call them in Norway) are wider than langrenn skis (cross-country skis used on prepared trails). In most cases, they have a steel edge and are fabricated with a proper wooden core. Fjellski do not have the same camber as langrenn skis for several reasons. A cross-country BC ski has a different function, and is therefore designed differently. These skis are built for varying conditions, terrain and surfaces. More, different skis are specialised to different uses, terrain, skill, and distance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Breiere fjellski som ofte kalles \u00abhybridski\u00bb. Disse skiene er en mellomkategori mellom fjellski og toppturski. Fantastiske ski for fjellentusiaster eller drevne telemark-kj\u00f8rere. Laget for bruk i brattere terreng, dypere sn\u00f8 og vanskeligere forhold generelt. Kan ogs\u00e5 v\u00e6re et lett og fint alternativ til toppturski. Liten til ingen sm\u00f8relomme, egner seg best til bruk med b\u00e5de korte og lange feller.
