Old School Skis


Monte was in his height of glory yesterday when he purchased these old school Janoy cross-country skis from Craig's List. He waxed the bottoms with 2 different kinds of wax and they are ready to take out for a peel in the snow.

Monte says....The skis are in great condition (hickory bottoms) given they are from the 70'S, The poles are bamboo, and the boots are leather!!!! Went for a quick ski today and they are terrific. The high was 4 degrees but I worked up quite a sweat in a short amount of time. They seem quicker than the non-wax skis I rented but a little more difficult to maneuver as they are 200CM skis. Tomorrow out for a longer ski...... heck temps are supposed to be in the high single digits or twice as warm as today.
