I'm looking for recommendations for a set of what probably would be described as "back country light" cross country skis to be used in untracked as well as lightly tracked areas of the Adirondack mountains and Tug Hill plateau of NYS. I've been using a pair of ancient waxed Fisher Air Cores but while doing an off track ski with others to Chub Pond found that those with shorter waxless back country skis were having an easier time of it in the often deep snow and narrow trails with temperatures rising 20*+ over the course of the trek.
At the moment, Fischer Spider 62s and Crown 68s look appealing but I'm still looking for informed feedback on these and other options.At this point in the winter I'm hoping to find something on sale as well.
Thanks for any educated replies.
