Strong enough to handle rough terrain and hard conditions yet perfectly at home in the groomed cross country tracks, the 1879 modell is a ski for quick adventures.

The 1879 comes equipped with a integrated MIX climbing skin, offering excellent grip and unimpeded glide. The ski’s camber profile, moderate sidecut, and 3/4 steel edges offer speed, stability and control on the descent.

Constructed with a core of Poplar/Paulownia for strength and weight and 48 mm at the waist, the 1879 weighs a remarkable 1550 g per pair for the 200 cm skis – perfect for leaving the groomed tracks to break trail.
The ski is also built with an insert for a short skin, allowing the instant attachment of the X-Skin to make it possible to climb more demanding hills and negotiate more demanding terrain.

1879 Is delivered with a pre-installed NNN C3 plate giving you the opertunety to chose any of the Rottefalla NNN bindings, however we higly recomend the move system for any skin model.

The name 1879 and inspiration for this model is based on the first cross country competiition called Huseby Rennet in todays Oslo, Norway.

Choosing the right length

Ski length is determined according to body weight and height. The table below is only a guide, however – experience, skill, terrain and individual needs can all influence your choice of length.

Generally speaking, moving through rugged terrain calls for shorter skis than the open mountain plateau. And for beginners, short skis are easier to control. If you’re mainly skiing along tracks, length isn’t the most crucial factor. For good float on deep snow, a slighter wider ski is useful. Lighter skiers might consider a shorter ski; heavier skiers a longer ski. Skiers with loads such as backpacks and sledges might consider a longer ski.
