US Military Issue Skis?
The local surplus place has some US Issue Military Skis. These appear to be something akin to an Alpine Touring/Randonee ski. It has a Fritzsche binding that appears it can be locked down for DH skiing. I’ve seen other (older?) skis that have a telemark binding but none like these before. They also come equipped with climbing skins. The guy at the surplus store thinks they are XC but I know a little more than he does about skis.
Any 10th Mountain Vets (or anyone else) have any idea if I’m right about the skis?
Also…what style boots might have been worn with them? They look like they would hold a plastic mountianeering or a AT boot, but I’ve never seen US Military Issue plastic mountaineering boots.
If they have edges, they are AT skis, not XC. Another telling sign is the fact that they come with skins. XC skis do not need skins, as they use the special textured/patterned bases.
How much are they? Skins alone cost near $100 I believe.
You would be able to use either leather or plastic boots. Make sure you know the binding is compatible first though…bring the skis with you when you get the boots. Then the shop techs can adjust them for you to.
