195cm Askjem Elite "Lett" Cross-Country Racing Skis - 1970s - BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED - Norway!!!Picture yourself gliding through the woods on these fast and light vintage skis. You will truly be "elite". This "lett" model was the top of the line for Askjem's Elite brand; made with the lightest materials and as narrow (48mm) as a modern racing ski. Skifabrikk took the time to restore the tops and the bases, the latter finished with a fresh coat of pine tar. Bindings may be removed for shipment. Size: 195cm Camber: medium (3 6cm at ski center)

KIDNAPPED poor Herman and TORTURED him by making him watch soccer non-stop for 24 hours

and solid hickory edges

I'm joking but I'm curious how the heel part worked

The factory marketed their product under the name "Toppen"

but snowshoes with the “Norway Maine” designation date from founding until an early 1930s move of the company to Vermont

with its extended life

Sporting a classic external steel frame

Cool faded Intersport sticker on one of the poles

a scratch in the bottom of one of the skis was smoothed over with wood filler (see pic)

as Rottefella standardized on 3-pin starting in the mid 1960s

Just stroll up to your next race with your boards in this bag

The bindings are a "Røyken Jern" cable style - Røyken was/is a town between Oslo and Drammen just to the southwest
