Karhu Karver Skis from Karhu Backcountry / Cross Country Skis
THIS ITEM DISCONTINUED & NO LONGER AVAILABLE
Simply one of the most innovative winter outdoor gear designs in a long time, the 2006/2007 Karhu Karver Backcountry Skis are a dynamic approach that greatly expands the traditional free-heel market – absolutely no special boot and binding combination are needed! The Karhu Karver is designed with a fat oversized platform that offers an incredibly stable and maneuverable performance, very similar to snowshoes, while the built-in strip of bearfur climbing skins provides unbelievable grip on the ascents and excellent balance for thrilling descents - no matter how steep the incline or tight the trees are! Full length metal edges for superb bite when climbing and solid control when turning on the downhills, will even perform excellent telemark turns when commanded. The fully-adjustable universal pre-mounted bindings allow you to use any hiking boot or snow boot, no specific ski boot necessary. Snowshoeing-Ski poles recommended (sold separately; see below).
The Karhu Carver Skis are widetrak for all-terrain use in backyards, parks, ski trails, snowshoe trails and backcountry. Ski construction is a wood core. Base integrated "Bearfur" Climbing Skin in waxless sintered ski base. Universal binding is designed to fit any hiking shoe or winter boot, and the binding combines an adjustable telescoping body with a PU highback for ultimate stability, control, and flexibility. Forefoot and instep ratcheting buckles ensure easy adjustment for the ultimate in comfort.
Dimensions: 120-100-115
Length: 130cm.
PLEASE NOTE: The Karhu Karver features a slightly longer length and narrower waist than the Karhu Meta Skis. The result is that the Karver is a more high-performance model built for advanced users encountering much more varied and steeper terrain in the backcountry. For more novice & intermediate users intending to adventure in parks, wooded trails and rolling terrain we recommend the Karhu Meta Skis model.
