IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU!
WE START BY ASKING YOU A LOT OF QUESTIONS. AFTER ALL THEY'LL BE YOUR CROSS COUNTRY SKIS AND YOU ARE UNIQUE. HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE QUESTIONS YOU CAN EXPECT. CALL 1-530-426-9165 AND WE'LL ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS!
* WEIGHT AND HEIGHT AND AGE? * SKATING OR CLASSIC X-C EQUIPMENT REQUIRED? * PREVIOUS X-C EXPERIENCE? (NONE REQUIRED!) * WHERE DO YOU USUALLY CROSS COUNTRY SKI? * YOUR GOALS FOR CROSS COUNTRY SKIING (DOG WALKING TO RACING ACCOMMODATED!) * YOUR STRENGTHS AND CONCERNS AS A NORDIC SKIER? * ARE YOU A DOWNHILL SKIER? WHAT LEVEL? * ARE YOU: BUYING YOUR FIRST X-C SKIS? BUILDING A QUIVER OF CROSS COUNTRY SKIS? * WHAT IS YOUR BUDGET FOR CROSS COUNTRY SKIS?
NOW THAT WE KNOW YOU...
FOR SOME MID-LENGTH SKIS, IF YOU HAVE NO UNUSUAL CONCERNS OR REQUIREMENTS AND ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A SKI'S WEIGHT RANGE WE CAN PICK A PAIR WITH NO FURTHER INFORMATION. THE SKIS COME IN THREE SIZES AND THE FLEX IS VERY FORGIVING, CASE CLOSED.
.FOR SKIS THAT COME IN MANY LENGTHS AND FLEXES...
WE GO TO OUR SUPPLIERS' CATALOGUES FOR SPECIFIC LENGTH AND FLEX NUMBER RECOMMENDATIONS, WE THEN CONSIDER THE ANSWERS TO SOME OF THE QUESTIONS (GOALS, FITNESS LEVEL, BUDGET, ETC) AND PICK THREE OR FOUR PAIRS THAT WILL WORK FOR YOU. THEY WOULD PROBABLY ALL WORK OK AND MANY SHOPS PICK SKIS BASED ONLY ON THIS INFORMATION, UNLESS YOU ARE A PROMINENT RACER OR CLOSE FRIEND...
WE DON'T THINK THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH! FLEX IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN GETTING A SKI THAT'S FAST AND EASY TO CONTROL! THERE ARE SMALL DIFFERENCES IN FLEX BETWEEN SKIS THAT "SHOULD" BE IDENTICAL. RARELY, THERE ARE BIG DIFFERENCES. FLEX TESTING ALLOWS US TO FINE TUNE OUR PICK FOR YOU AND AVOID ANY GROSS ERRORS. SO... WE THEN FLEX THOSE THREE OR FOUR PAIRS AND CHOOSE THE BEST PAIR FOR YOU. THAT'S JUST ONE GOOD REASON TO BUY YOUR SKIS EARLY WHILE THERE ARE LOTS TO CHOOSE FROM.
IF IT'S THE LAST SKI IN THAT CATEGORY IN THE STORE, WE FLEX TEST IT! IF IT'S WRONG FOR YOU, WE WON'T SELL IT TO YOU!
WE HAVE PRECISE PARAMETERS TO LOOK FOR IN CLASSIC AND SKATE SKIS. THOSE PARAMETERS VARY YEAR TO YEAR AS MODELS CHANGE. WHAT WAS A GOOD FLEX FOR THE ATOMIC BETA RACE OF OLD, WOULD BE LESS THAN IDEAL ON THE NEW ATOMIC RS-11. LET US PICK YOURS TODAY!
