No idea how they ski. They’re plenty heavy, I’ve seen them at Army/Navy surplus for $80 USD.

They do look to be the same skis that've been abundantly available and cheap for decades (literally). Straight, heavy, and stiff.

If I am not mistaken the Karhus from that era have a foam core, which leads me to believe these skis won't be as stiff as originally intended as foam starts to degrade over time. Please correct me if I am wrong, I thought about these skis until I figured they had a foam core and were heavy.

Straight, heavy, and stiff.
Exactly my three favorite attributes!
