New Photography Tool! Cross-Country Skis
Now that the snowstorms have mellowed out here in Truckee, California, I don't have to do nearly as much snow removal. This big winter has whipped me into shape and I don't want to lose it so I thought I'd buy myself a new toy. Backcountry skis! I figure they will help keep Quill dog and I exercised now that it's spring but all the dirt trails are still buried in a ton of snow. We got out today and gave them their first try.

![20230322_150649.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scottshots/Eou9BHGxGL1QY1aqVPgvWTgGszn7i9hMZaXk67TMYoayVwWKSVYz7bFxWKwrrZRc6JV.jpeg)

These are Rossignol BC 80 backcountry skis. They are definitely not made for taking to the downhill ski resorts. But they are perfect for taking the dog and/or camera out on the flatter un-groomed areas. I can take them to the nearby cross-country ski resorts if I want to for groomed trails, but they will not fit in the groomed tracks made for thinner cross-country skis. My online research and talking with an experienced salesman in a local shop led me to these. I think they will be perfect!


![20230322_150403.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/scottshots/23wX1BgJyM5LeKN93pBB5UGbcLko8RY2tr2eYro1hfGL1vFCf1gPLQUthYREeT3wjpE1e.jpeg)

Here's a look at the scales on the bottom of the skis. They worked great today for helping me glide along and also for climbing gentle hills.

All the gear I bought was on sale, it's officially spring and there is usually a lot less snow on the ground. The store was out of my size boot so I had to go to another store in town to buy these Fischer boots. They also worked great so I'm not bummed.

Our goal location was Prosser Creek, near Prosser Reservoir. It's not too far of a drive from my house and it's a great spot to go in order to escape the tourist crowds.

Although I had my Canon 5DS R camera in the backpack, I did not use it. But I'm feeling confident that this new tool will help me get out to cool winter locations much further and faster than my snowshoes do. Fingers crossed, hopefully I'll have some new landscape photos to share soon thanks to the help of the skis.

Thank you for looking and have a great day!

Hi.
You have very interesting skis. 
And why is there some kind of clipping on the nose of the skis?

Now I know that I need similar skis for walking. I have cross-country skiing, but they are limited to a paved ski run. 
But I have not seen such skis in our stores. So I used hunting skis.

I love them and will be getting out again soon! Here's a bit more info about the skis, in case you're curious: https://www.rossignol.com/se/rhiwc15-000.html The salesman told me that these certainly won't be the best for groomed runs, but they will work. The nose of the ski looks like that because of how the optional skins attach ( https://www.rossignol.com/se/rolw108-000.html ) I didn't get the skins but I may buy them if I want to climb steeper mountains. Hunting skis sound fun too!

Yup! But first I need to get my legs in better shape. So sore today... 
The skis are really maneuverable and did great in that somewhat flat un-groomed terrain. Feeling motivated to get out more often.
Here's more info about the ski: https://www.rossignol.com/se/rhiwc15-000.html
