Just a wild thought...
Stephen, would if I could, I can't fly there right now due to COVID restrictions in Norway.

Sorry, it’s been so long I had stopped paying attention to all the COVID details.
Just hiding in my cave.
I hadn’t realized the extent of the travel restrictions in Europe, which I just looked into.
Good luck finding a solution for what you want to do.

Musk Ox they have a sale on most of what I wanted to order but they don't ship outside of Norway https://www.fjellsport.no/ . This place has the Alpha boots that I wanted https://www.skaugsport.no/ I think they ship outside of Norway but through email and they're a little more expensive. Not sure about the post costs. I know a lot of the places in the ASNES store list don't carry those skis or are out of them. I was thinking they'd be easier to buy in Europe, lol.
I'm actually happy to help if you do all the ordering and you're prepared to trust an anonymous stranger in another country who has named himself after a giant arctic goat, and we can take this to PMs where I'll de-anonymize myself.

I should probably say, though, that living where I do (northern Norway with no air freight and no trains) it'll take a week for the skis to get to me and over a week for the skis to get to you. I don't know what the Polish post is like, and Norway isn't in the EU customs union. Sending to Germany, for instance, things can sit in customs for days before they're released to the domestic post system (although if you have to pay a toll, you have to collect the parcel yourself, which speeds things up a bit)

Anyone have a place they know where I can purchase the ASNES Mountain Race 48 Skin Skis that would mail to a European address? I looked at one Store in Norway online but they only deliver in Norway. If I'm posting on the wrong board please move this or let me know which area to post in. I'm in Poland currently for a Month. I'm looking at having bindings mounted and need to purchase some boots as well. I've looked at some Alfa boots and one other that I saw mentioned here, the Lundhag guides I think. There's 20km of groomed tracks here. :)
I don’t know if they ship to Europe but I have found 2 pairs here : https://www.lacordee.com/fr/skis-de-fon ... OwQAvD_BwE

Hi guys,

We're working on better distribution all over the world these days, especially in the U.S and Canada.
Talk to all the shops you know, and your local, professional ski-shops, and let them know they can sell Åsnes skis if they reach out to us. If they have the knowledge, workshops and sell other ski equipment - we're interested in working with them.

But for now, we have a few workarounds for you.

In Europe, you can buy from the following shops:

Varuste.net (Finland) - Ships worldwide
Piteraq - Tinder of banditter (Norway) - Ships worldwide
Sport Albert (Germany) - Ships worldwide
Nordic Life (U.K) - Ships worldwide, but behold the insane taxes due to Brexit
Cristalp (France) - Ships all over Europe, and sometimes worldwide

Canada:
Roc N' Ride (2444 rue de l'Église, Val-David, QC J0T 2N0)
La Cordeé
The Norseman Outdoor Specialist

U.S:
R.E.I (Stocks more skis next season)
Neptune Mountaineering (has the best selection of our skis) - Also ships to Canada
With mountainous regards from,

Just FYI Piteraq - Tinder of banditter (Norway) does not ship outside of Norway, I've talked to them recently. I was able to order from Sport Albert (Germany) for the skis and for other items I ordered from Varuste.net, hopefully, those work out ok.
