Skin Tec classic ski developments
Over the past few seasons each ski manufacturer was been working hard to develop the best possible grip and glide possible, this season it has been seen that a few company's have made major steps forward in this area. The main player has to be Atomic with there new Redstar C9 Classic ski, also Madshus and Fischer. all producing top end classic skis with a skin material for the grip area.
What has this done for the ski industry, opened up classic skiing to those who looked the other way when it come to applying grip wax, and just wished to skate. It is more just a case of pull out the classic skin tech skis and head out for a great days skiing, but also racing, with great results from top skiers in a number of marathon events this season.
Early next winter the full line up of new skis from the likes of Salomon, Fisher, Atomic, Madshus, Ski Trab and Rossignol will all have a new line up of top performing classic skis.
