 I searched for NATO on this forum seeking info about the Asnes skis and literally half the posts are @randoskier pontificating about geopolitics.
You're welcome.

I've got the stiffest version and I was curious to find out how miserable the superheavies would be skiing these. Turns out it's not bad at all.
Shoved every piece of cast iron cookware I have in the backpack and used a trash picker to move a sheet of paper under the scales. Positive numbers means it ended up in front of scales, negative ones mean the scales are dragging.

The length of the scaled pattern is 70 cm and at 130 it's not entirely compressed with one foot on the ski.
