Sales over

These skis have been discussed over and over again on here, but it’s kinda hard to keep straight (and they have different versions), so, how would you compare the flex of the Ingstad and the Nansen you are selling? Like, the Ingstad is not just a little wider Nansen, right? Softer and more downhill oriented I’ve gathered, but how much different?

Of the two I preferred the Ingstad, seems to turn better for me and better flotation. I noticed a bit better grip with the Nansen while kicking and its softness makes for better climbing. A lighter skier than me (I’m around 215) would likely find the Ingstad a bit of a handful and the Nansen easier to use. I’ll say that the Ingstad was more enjoyable on FSR roads and the Nansen preferred flatter, more compacted snow (in my experience).

Lil’Cliffy has posted in the difference of these skis in the past, he’s had more time on them than me.

Thanks for the info. I think these end up being slightly longer than appropriate for me unfortunately.
