210cm Blå-Skia Wood "Tur-Langrenn" Light Touring Cross-Country Skis - Early 70s - TIMEPIECE!!!!Bl Skia ("The Blue Ski") was a Norwegian craft ski maker that never produced more than 10,000 pair in a year. This paled in comparison to some of its rivals who ramped production to over 100,000 at the height of the wood ski era. Ivar Halvorsen's company, based in Nittedal, right outside of Oslo, specialized in racing skis but also made some well built, lightweight touring skis such as these. Really, the only difference between these and a top flight

It was quite a process to get bend into solid wood ski tips

They have seen limited use

I am not removing that

I'd do it too if I could find them

Beautiful pair of Norwegian Sparta brand poles

HIGHLY desirable birch base

is the name of a famous tunnel that winds its way INSIDE a mountain above Drammen

A missing section of ligno on the outside of one of the skis

and are ready for the snow

Ski nerds might debate whether these skis are "real" wood skis

but he was a talented inventor
