Asnes Liv Bc Ski

Liv is the optimal mountain ski for girls who are going on a long trip with packs or sleds.

The ski has been developed in collaboration with Liv Arnesen, and with the popular Amundsen ski as a starting point. A ski for long mountain tours with pack or sled. The ski is longitudinally stiff and has a moderate sidecut, which leads to a directionally stable ski perfect for pulling sleds. The ski buckle is adapted for women, and the distinctive lubrication pocket preserves the binding wax for as long as possible. The ski is a natural choice for expedition sailors and is of course delivered with the original trap lock from Asnes. The skis are narrow enough to fit in hiking trails.

If you want to get the most out of the Asnes trap system, we recommend using a custom trap in mohair 45 mm for cold roads/flat terrain ( X-Skin 45mm Mohair - Asnes (asnes.com) . Wet roads and steep terrain require 45 mm Synthetic card case.

Liv Arnesen has been on a number of expeditions and long ski trips. Liv was the first woman in the world to walk alone and without support or supplies to the South Pole. Before that, Liv and Julie Maske were the first women to cross the Greenland ice sheet without support. Liv Arnesen and Ann Bancroft were also the first women to cross Antarctica on skis. Liv has spent a lot of time on Svalbard as a guide and tour leader. Today, Liv spends much of her time lecturing and is a sought-after speaker on the topic of motivation, coping and management, but at the latest in 223 she completed the Pink Ribbon expedition

CHOICE OF SKI LENGTH

Ski length is determined based on body length and weight. The table here is intended as an aid and must not be followed slavishly. Skiing ability, terrain, weight, packing and individual needs/habits are factors that influence the choice of length.

General advice: Travel in rough terrain requires shorter skis than open mountain expanses. For beginners, it will often be easier with short skis. If you only go in beaten tracks, length plays little role in terms of how well/badly you float in the snow, then it is instead the span that is important. If the person is lighter than average, the user should consider shorter skis, and vice versa if the person is heavier. If you often go with heavy gear, the skis should be a little longer.
