Hey Johnny-
What are your thoughts on the Asnes scales versus Fischer's Off-track Crown?
Cross-country AND down-hill skiing in the backcountry.
Unashamed to be a "cross-country type" and love skiing down-hill.

They are both very nice. To me it seems like the Asnes scales are smoother, offering a slightly better glide, while the Offtrack offers a tad more grip... But it's hard to tell for me since my Ingstad and Nansen WLs are much narrower than my Offtrack skis...

I originally regretted getting Ingstads with a waxless base but they grew on me and I'm very happy I have them.

I gave my smooth Ingstads to Lilcliffy two years ago... I stick to the WL ones now and couldn't be happier...
The Magik Å pattern is amazing, perfect grip and glide even on cold snow... Happiness is a pair of waxless Asnes skis...
