Found a pair of new looking Catamounts at Goodwill.
This version has a plain brown topsheet, waxless, 85/70/80, 190cm, with a camber and a half. Probably a foam or very, very light wood core.
To me they look like a knave of all trades. But I'll probably use them as fast snowshoes. They have nnn bc bindings and I have Alaskas but maybe I'll find some Silvrettas out there. T2's?
Who's had a pair? Do they do anything well?
Thanks.
Do old Karhu Catamounts have any special talents?

Never had a pair, but sold and worked on lots of 'em. Kind of a ski shoe, workhorse kind of ski (though If I recall those brown ones were not known for durability). Won't impress with turning or kick and glide performance, but they'll get you around.

I have had similar, I would stay with NNN-BC. Just my 2 cents…..but that would be on rolling Midwest single track
