Backcountry/cross country skis blended with snowshoes = Altai Hok Skis Altai Hok skis are a type of ski for people who like to go in deep snow, wet snow, and especially on trails and through the woods in places that crosscountry or backcountry skis fail or are dangerous. They have a permanent built-in skin on the bottom to allow you to climb steep hills, and the skin helps you slow down when going down steep hills in the woods. Ill post some more videos below for people to learn about them. They also come with universal bindings ($309), so you can use your regular every day hiking boots or snowboots with them. Some people even use them with tennis shoes on hot days with packed snow. You can purchase them without bindings ($216) and put backcountry bindings on them as well. The best deal right now is at Eastern Mountain Sports. If you call the 1-800 number, they might give you a hook up even better than the awesome $50 off that they have for the next week or so on their website. My pair arrives tomorrow, Ill post some updates on them and their performance in different conditions. This is a detailed post for friends who have been interested in them, and for people who could benefit from this sort of activity. youtu.be/7ES3jltlZT0
