What a jolly pair of skis these are.  A solid example of lightly used touring skis, from one of the big Norwegian wood ski manufacturers from "back in the day".  Ole Askjem's factory in Stokke churned out touring, racing, and jumping skis of the highest quality.  Proof of this is the fact that these skis (with bindings) weigh an identical 1,536gms each - this is rare to find with wood skis.

The pair is mounted with a classic pair of Gresvig "Kandahar" bindings.  Kandahar bindings are to cable-style bindings what Xerox were to copy machines and Kleenex is to tissues.  They're the real deal.

Sold by the "Sporten" sporting goods stores (now part of Intersport).  This is evidenced by the branding on the foot plates and on the upper ski.  It's always fun when the decals from the selling retailer remain, but since they were applied on top of the factory finish, they are usually easily scratched off.

Tops and bases have been refinished by the industrious elves at Skifabrikk.

Bindings may be removed for shipment.
