Mountaineer's Take: The new Karhu XCD 10th Mountain, now called the Madshus
Epoch but otherwise the same ski we've carried for the
past few seasons. The 10th Mountain is best for touring
when you want some decent turning power without sacrificing
as much touring speed and tracking ability as you do with the
XCD Guide / Madshus Annum.
Madshus Says: A confident go-anywhere ski, the
Epoch quickly covers ground up or down hills, and
anything in between. The Omnitrak® NoWax base provides
superior kick and glide with a progressive, positive-set
waxless pattern, while the progressive radius sidecut
and full-length edges turn effortlessly with the Epoch's
lively flex. From logging roads and backcountry trails
to forested glades and low-angle bowls, the Epoch skis
with ease.
