Altai Skis DEMO at Glebe Park

A demo day for Altai skis and snowshoes by Algonquin Outfitters at Glebe Park. Free rentals and a demo hike by Dave Paddock and Thom Lambert.

Altai Skis – It is a short, wide backcountry ski and, importantly, incorporates a skin, mid-section of the base (see pictures below) which grips when going uphill, yet provides minimal drag on glide. The ski has metal edges improving control.
