A deep sidecut gives it a genuine turning shape rather than the straight-tracking profile most Nordic tourers settle for, and steel edges hold when the surface goes firm. The waxless pattern climbs, and a skin can be added for the pitches where it won't. Skiers who tour in order to ski, not just to travel, will recognize it. [boot PKG overview]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBackcountry Nordic skiers who want to make turns as well as cover ground, including telemark-curious skiers and anyone touring in deeper snow. It suits intermediates and above who are comfortable steering a wider ski and want float a narrower metal-edged tourer can't provide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThings to consider:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll that width costs speed on packed trail, so this is the wrong ski if most of your days start and end on a groomed track. It also asks more of the skier than a narrow tourer does, and pairing it with a supportive backcountry boot matters if you intend to actually turn it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFit \u0026amp; sizing considerations:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe S-Bound sizes shorter than a traditional Nordic ski because the width and sidecut do the work length used to. Follow the weight chart and resist adding length for glide: shorter lengths in your range turn more willingly in trees, while the longer end steadies the ski on open slopes.
