New Hampshire Backcountry Nordic Skiing To An Off-Grid Cabin. Fischer S Bound OTX 112
   Alright, welcome to winter in the mountains of New England. We just got a huge snow storm totalling 41 inches in some areas and 2 feet of fresh powder where we went. A perfect opportunity to get out on our Fischer S-Bound OTX 112  backcountry nordic skis (the best xc ski for beginners or experts looking to explore off trail.) and head up to one of many rustic off grid cabins in New Hampshire. There's nothing quite like the buoyant feeling these skis create while breaking your own trail in fresh pow, while floating through a silent wilderness. In the winter we "Live To Ski" as Fischer puts it. The dusks golden sunlight stayed just within reach, illuminating our path and highlighting the moose fresh tracks that seemed to have the same destination we did. A day spent in the woods of New England usually consists of finding some interesting old structures or artifacts from early settlers and the logging history of the region. As two people that used to put in upwards of 100 days on snowboards per season, learning to descend on a free heel ski can be quite amusing and also part to the fun. A new challenge is always welcomed and the intimate, wild places these skis take us has muted the beckoning call of a busy ski resort while the voice of nature has become beautifully clear. 
  This is our first real go at a Nordic Ski episode and posed a new set of challenges in itself. The pace is much slower than the running or biking, for one thing but that's also the allure of the backcountry. It's patient and tranquil. I tried to capture a mix of emotions and add in some upbeat music to keep it lively. But I'm thinking of trying one with no music and letting you all hear the relaxing sounds of the skis gliding along, the forest ambience, and maybe very little speaking. My goal with these Nordic videos is for you to have a submersive experience but to also inspire you to get out and explore on skis or just go out in the winter woods. Let me know in the comments what you'd like to feel from these winter backcountry videos. We plan to be out filming quite often and have some amazing places to take you.
Thanks For Watching
Much Love

If you live in the area, we highly suggest the incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff at Omer And Bob's Ski Shop in Lebanon, NH. Thier Nordic knowledge is outstanding compared to anywhere we've been. If you have questions about the gear feel free to ask as I have many years of Ski/Bike Shop experience as well as a MasterFit certification in boot fitting. I'd be stoked to help!
