DYNASTAR Vertical Deer cross-country ski pack + bindings + skins

Mountain Touring

For autonomous cross-country skiing in wilder mountain environments, away from the slopes.



You have all the safety equipment you need (avalanche transceiver, shovel, probe).

For outings with friends or family, preferably under the supervision of mountain professionals (Guides), and always accompanied (never alone). For cross-country ski trips that last one or several days.

Pack

A pair of Vertical Deer skis is available as a pack with Look HM 10 bindings and skins.

The binding is fitted to a plate that enables the length of the binding to be adjusted by 45 mm.

It is therefore suitable for a wide range of foot sizes.

The baseplate is mounted according to an assembly plan for each size in order to suit everyone's needs.

Thanks to this assembly, you can lend your skis, change boot size, etc.

This is a major advantage for easily initiating others to cross-country skiing.

Skins

The skins sold with Vertical Deer skis are designed and cut to the length and width of the ski.

They include 70% Mohair and 30% nylon; this is the best compromise between glide (when ascending, to limit effort) and grip (when ascending to limit the slip-back effect).

The skins are mounted with an elastic at the top of the skin to easily attach to the preformed tip of your Vertical Deer, and an adjustable camlock at the back to fix the skin to the heel of the ski.

Construction

Wood Sandwich construction with straight sidewalls. Carbon reinforcements.

What is a camber?

When placing a ski on the ground, its points of contact are found near the tip and heel, whereas the middle of the ski (under the bindings) is slightly raised (the camber). The longer and higher the camber, the greater the traction and more responsive the ski. The lower the camber, the more tolerant and manageable the ski.

Camber

The Vertical Deer has a medium camber – a good compromise between handling and edge grip on all snow types.

What are ski sidecuts?

The sidecuts have 3 measurements – the width of the nose (front of the ski), waist (middle of the ski) and tail (back of the ski). The wider the tip, the easier it is to enter turns. The slimmer the waist, the greater the traction on hard snow. The wider the waist, the more comfortable and stable the ski is in changing snow conditions. The wider the tail, the better the ski grip in the curve. The thinner the tail, the more easily it will slip.
