This is \u00c5snes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First of all, every one of our skis is conceived, designed, and developed at our base in the Norwegian district of Voss. We\u2019re a small team; everyone has a hand in development. Our ambassadors, test team and sponsored skiers have in the design and development of skis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our production manager is the third generation of the \u00c5snes family to put their name to our skis. So history, knowledge and experience have passed down through the generations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c5snes is a world leader in the construction of nordic skis built for the backcountry (what we call \u201cfjellski\u201d in Norway) and the preferred supplier of skis for polar expeditions worldwide. Our experience stretches back to 1922. Knowledge, tradition and the joy of skiing are still part of our blood and something we\u2019re proud of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since we\u2019ve contributed to so many expeditions and deliver skis to many NATO countries, we like to say that our test arena is at the North Pole, the South Pole and the arctic generally. All our skis have been tested to withstand years of hard use in demanding environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The structure of the skis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our skis all have a family resemblance in style, quality, and philosophy. All are made in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short skin attachment points (Skinlock)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The safest, securest and most trusted system for fixing and protecting short skins there is. Tested to the limits on countless expeditions and long tours. Simple to use; resistant to icing up. Our SkinProtector\u00a9\u00ae, X-Skins\u00a9 short skins and Skinlock\u00a9 were developed in-house, and are unique to \u00c5snes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
