Looks like The US Marine Corp is buying some Combat NATO skis. I would love to buy those at Coleman's two pair for $30

It's only a matter of time! We NEED to keep a close eye out for surplus!!!
ALSO- who is using the military versions of the Vector BC and the Switchback binding?

Cross-country AND down-hill skiing in the backcountry.
Unashamed to be a "cross-country type" and love skiing down-hill.

Re: US Marines Purchase Anses NATO Combat Skis
nice boost for Asnes! Maybe this purchase by the Marines will tone down the snarky comments about NATO "combat". 
This ski is a modern classic IMO, I love the white topsheets and durable construction. Extremely versatile too, does a decent job at everything from XC mode to deep powder and tele turns. If history repeats itself they will show up at Coleman's in the 2040's.

US Army uses Vectors and Switchbacks.
Yes... surplus - so we can recover our taxes for pennies on the dollar.
