Alpina Discovery 68E Backcountry Touring Ski

Alpina's narrowest backcountry ski, the Discovery 68E blends the on-trail performance of a narrow touring ski with the off-track adventure of a wider backcountry model. With a 60mm waist width, the Discovery 68E is narrow enough to glide efficiently on groomed trails while giving you the stability you'll want when you duck off the beaten path to explore fresh powder. Unlike Alpina's other skis, the Discovery 68E has steel edges, which hang on tight in hard and crusty snow.

A flexible wood core means you won't have to fight the ski for maximum performance. The embossed waxless base glides smoothly on flats and downhills while still maintaining control and forward motion on the uphills. Plus, waxless bases require far less maintenance than their waxable counterparts.
