Guy said they're due to get more items in sometime this month. I also asked him why so many waxless versions and he said that's what people want. Weird.

I'll bet 90-95% of the backcountry nordic skiers I meet on any patrol day, or actually any backcountry ski day, are on waxless skis, or ("Heavens to Murgatroyd!"), even using climbing skins on mellow trails, never removing them. I can understand the waxless ski use, as many people only XC ski a few times a season, and don't have the inclination to learn to wax. This in a generally cold dry Colorado climate that is ideal for waxing. Retailers like Neptune at least supply this group with quality gear!

The waxless Ingstad and Nansen skis seem to work really well, too.
I don't know whether the waxless Amundsen do, though, or if those are as ineffective as the waxless Mountain Tour skis they used to make...
East coast ski retailer with alpine and XC gear, has free US shipping above $49. I picked up some new K2 skis for tele last week, seems to be a decent place, has Fischer and Rossi, and Salomon XC skis: https://www.skiessentials.com/?utm_sour ... %3D.XWsfPB
I have no irons in this fire, just passing this info along, it's always good to save a few bongo bucks.

Some pretty great deals over at Varuste on Åsnes skis the next 2 days! 20% off their already low prices. Probably other stuff, too.
Is it true they will ship skis to the US for about $25? Some of those prices are really good!
when i tried last year, getting payment to them was a pita and never did work out for me. direct credit card payments did not work. they did not use paypal. hopefully improved now. good luck
