Four Day Cross Country Ski Rental

Alpina Discovery 80 Skis Designed for Backcountry Cross-Country Exploration

Winter adventurers looking to venture beyond groomed trails can explore snowy landscapes with the Alpina Discovery 80, a cross-country ski engineered for backcountry touring and ungroomed terrain. Designed for classic skiing across frozen lakes, open snowfields, and remote wilderness routes, the skis provide the versatility and control needed for exploring untouched winter environments.

A key feature of the Discovery 80 is its full-length steel edges, which improve grip and stability when traversing uneven terrain, climbing gentle slopes, or negotiating short downhill sections. This added control enhances confidence in changing snow conditions, making the skis well suited to adventurous skiers seeking greater freedom beyond prepared tracks.

The skis also incorporate Alpina’s Ultra Lite Wood Core construction, which combines laminated wood with integrated air channels to create a lightweight yet stable platform. The design promotes even pressure distribution and efficient power transfer while reducing overall weight, allowing for comfortable travel during longer excursions through the backcountry.

Completing the package is the waxless Sollte Base, engineered to deliver reliable glide across a wide range of snow conditions without the need for traditional waxing. By combining lightweight construction, dependable traction, and low-maintenance performance, the Alpina Discovery 80 offers an ideal solution for skiers eager to create their own routes and experience the quiet beauty of winter wilderness.
