Well, yes \u2013 they are. But this is for the sake of the participants. As the organisers, we\u2019re obliged to make sure that every participant has what\u2019s necessary to survive in the winter mountains, especially if something were to happen.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\">Accidents are possible. Participants of Expedition Amundsen may find themselves obliged to take care of themselves and others until help arrives. The race crosses Hardangervidda in winter, however. This means that it can take time before help arrives, no matter how extensive the support system is.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"sett-deg-inn-i-listene\" class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\">Familiarise yourself with the lists<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\">Familiarise yourself with the equipment list and start getting what you need sooner rather than later. There\u2019s nothing worse than having to deal with missing equipment at the very last minute. In the worst case, you can end up at the equipment check without everything mandated. Then you\u2019re simply not allowed to participate.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"bli-kjent-med-utstyret\" class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\">Get to know the equipment<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\">If you get your equipment together in good time, you have time to get to know it. Preparation, as always, is absolutely essential. The better you know your equipment, the more you can save time, energy and effort.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\">Everyone who has ever completed a more arduous multi-day tour or expedition will confirm that<a href=\"https:\/\/asnes-academy.com\/en\/tips-and-tricks\/setting-up-camp-essential-routines\/\"> the less time you spend on setting up camp through smooth routine, the more time you have to rest<\/a>. And on a race like \u00c5snes Expedition Amundsen, it\u2019s probably pointless to say that rest and the conservation of energy are absolutely vital,<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=B5hCDJtrjSs<\/div><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"has-wh-ite-background-color stretch-row\">\r\n<div class=\"asnes-inner__content container\">\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"wp-block-uagb-columns uagb-columns__wrap uagb-columns__background-undefined uagb-columns__stack-mobile uagb-columns__valign-undefined uagb-columns__gap-10 alignundefined uagb-block-0265b3c6\">\r\n<div class=\"uagb-columns__overlay\"><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"uagb-columns__inner-wrap uagb-columns__columns-2\">\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-column uagb-column__wrap uagb-column__background-undefined uagb-block-1066c248\">\r\n<div class=\"uagb-column__overlay\"><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"uagb-column__inner-wrap\">\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"forberedelser-pamelding-og-lister\" class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color: #a85622;\">Preparations, registration and lists<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\">We\u2019ve written a separate article with a simple, straightforward summary of mandatory requirements, preparations and lists.

The security you get from a solid and stable cross-country BC ski with a steel edge has proven to be important, especially when things get hard and icy on descents with a 40kg sled in tow. The choices are justified, so we, as organisers and co-ordinators, are pretty clear that this equipment list is absolutely not open to discussion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jgA7tmTfXkM&amp;t=149s<\/div>\r\n<figcaption>\u00d8yvind Lillehagen gir noen nyttige tips om utstyr i forkant av Expedition Amundsen.

While there\u2019s no definitive answers, from experience we can say that some choices will be more successful than others.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\">Through consultation with previous participants, the \u00c5snes Expert Panel (several of us at \u00c5snes and in the Panel have participated in the race), and Xtremeidfjord, we\u2019ve put together some suggestions and strategic advice below.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"has-wh-ite-background-color stretch-row\">\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"wp-block-uagb-columns uagb-columns__wrap uagb-columns__background-undefined uagb-columns__stack-mobile uagb-columns__valign-undefined uagb-columns__gap-10 alignundefined uagb-block-49cc2809\">\r\n<div class=\"uagb-columns__overlay\"><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"uagb-columns__inner-wrap uagb-columns__columns-2\">\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-column uagb-column__wrap uagb-column__background-undefined uagb-block-677e7305\">\r\n<div class=\"uagb-column__overlay\"><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"uagb-column__inner-wrap\">\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"vart-forslag-til-ski\" class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\">Our suggestions for skis<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"ski-nummer-1\" class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\">Main skis:<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\">Many prefer to use either the <strong>\u00c5snes Mountain Race 48<\/strong> (which was, to some extent, developed for this race), <strong>\u00c5snes Amundsen, \u00c5snes B\u00f8rge Ousland or \u00c5snes Gamme<\/strong> as their number one ski.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\">If there\u2019s a lot of fresh snow, our suggestion is to go for the Amundsen or the very light Mountain Race 48. These have good support and are the most efficient skis for such conditions.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\">If conditions are more straightforward, the B\u00f8rge Ousland or Gamme will be slightly more versatile, and offer more control on the downhill. If you choose to go with a single model, these are good choices.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\">If you <a href=\"https:\/\/asnes-academy.com\/en\/tips-and-tricks\/how-to-use-asnes-short-skins\/\">wax with hard grip wax, you can just stick a skin on top<\/a> if you need to, peeling it off if when conditions are really great.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"ski-nummer-2\" class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\">Second skis:<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\">The<strong> Gamme and the B\u00f8rge Ousland<\/strong>, being considerably versatile, are good choices. Many choose to go for skis such as the <strong>\u00c5snes Nansen, the \u00c5snes Ingstad,<\/strong> or even a slightly more downhill-oriented ski. There may be an advantage to a slightly more stable ski on descents. With their more forgiving camber, these skis are less technically demanding to ride when tired \u2013 albeit they aren\u2019t wholly as efficient on the flats.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\">This is the ski to use with a long skin for the race\u2019s opening uphill leg. Bring extra skins and wax for this ski, too. If it becomes your principal ski, that\u2019ll be more than necessary.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-column uagb-column__wrap uagb-column__background-undefined uagb-block-d7d1f47b\">\r\n<div class=\"uagb-column__overlay\"><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"uagb-column__inner-wrap\">\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"personlige-preferanser-og-strategiske-valg\" class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\">Personal preferences and strategic choices<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\"><strong>The vast, vast majority\u00a0choose to bring two pairs of skis each<\/strong>. This way, you have skis for different conditions. Perhaps you can cruise on one pair, and tackle the downhills on another.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\"><strong>Many prefer to take a slightly wider ski with a long skin attached<\/strong>. With skis like these, you don\u2019t immediately expend your energy on the first steep ascent, wearing yourself out at the beginning. After this section, they go on the pulk as back-up skis. Exactly which two pairs you choose depends on your strategy and personal preference. But it\u2019s still an advantage to have thought this through and to actually bring two pairs of skis each.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\">Ideally, <strong>the ski you bring with you as your primary ski should be both waxable and have a solution for attaching short skin<\/strong>s. It should work with a pulk, have good camber, track straight, and and offer efficient propulsion on the flats. It\u2019s also an advantage to bring several pairs of short skins, covering all conditions, minimising the time you spend in the cold.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"has-athens-gray-background-color stretch-row\">\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"wp-block-uagb-columns uagb-columns__wrap uagb-columns__background-undefined uagb-columns__stack-mobile uagb-columns__valign-undefined uagb-columns__gap-10 alignundefined uagb-block-a5af48fb\">\r\n<div class=\"uagb-columns__overlay\"><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"uagb-columns__inner-wrap uagb-columns__columns-2\">\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-column uagb-column__wrap uagb-column__background-undefined uagb-block-6b7c5007\">\r\n<div class=\"uagb-column__overlay\"><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"uagb-column__inner-wrap\">\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"laer-alt-om-smoring-av-fjellski\" class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color: #a85622;\">Learn all about waxing cross-country BC skis<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\">Not sure how to wax your skis?

Remove the skin at the first break\/overnight.

Ideally they should function throughout the race. Cork in hard wax (Swix Blue) before putting the skin on top. Here we recommend a 45mm mohair, mix or 40mm Race skin, trimmed and adapted to your skis and your skills.
