    5.0 out of 5 stars Great ski to explore off the trail

    The Hok is a perfect ski to leave the trail behind and go exploring. I own both the 125CM and 145CM skis. Both have their virtues. Both climb extremely well. The 125CM ski is better in tight places and the 145 is a bit more like an alpine ski when pointing them downhill. Neither are fast gliders but true to their intent they track well in deep snow and are very comfortable with your favorite footwear.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful
    Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2020
    I have have the original version and the newer model and both are wonderful. I have many pairs of skis going back to wood once from the 1960s and these are by far my favorites.
    I use 3-pin bindings with leather teleboots. I spray the skins with silicone between trips to prevent icing and I bring a small piece of glide wax and a scraper. If the skins do ice back in the mountains, I scrape off the ice and rub in glide wax and that works well. I wax the Ptex with glide wax using a ski waxing iron. I mostly use colder rated glide wax mid winter because universal can be a little slow when the temperature drops. I wax perhaps every tenth trip. If you tear a skin on a rock, see the instructions on the manufacturer's website for repairing or replacing the skin. Both are easy.
    These skis are shorter and wider than typical XC skis and that makes them easy to maneuver in the trees. Of course they do not glide as well as waxed XC skis but that is an advantage on steep narrow trails. Skins are fastest on wet snow. Because they are short I can carry them more easily on my backpack than my old 220cm XC skis. I think of the Hoks as having the best features of skis and snowshoes combined. I ski ungroomed trails and off piste and these skis work well for both. They do not have enough flotation to easily ski deep (say five feet) very loose snow but then neither do any XC skis. They are vastly superior to snowshoes in deep snow or any snow for that matter. They are great choice for youth groups and occasional skiers as well as backcountry winter campers. I love them and I hope you do too.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great backwoods ski.

    Looking for something more efficient than snowshoes for backwoods ice-fishing trips, I did some research and went with a pair of Altai Hok Skis. The climbing skins provide an amazing amount of kick, but they do take away some of the glide. These are not racing skis, but they are maneuverable and work well making your own trail. A stiff boot would be helpful for control on the downhill parts, as my leather boots did not allow me to utilize the metal edges very well. Telemark turns seem to work better.
    The X-Trace Universal bindings are nice if you don't want to invest in actual ski boots and bindings, but I might consider some NNN BC boots and bindings for next year. One thing I noticed is that if you are on packed snow with no track, these skis will slip sideways.

    I love these skis. Basically they replaced my snowshoes. They climb perfectly and then slide downhill.

    Ordered the longer Altai Hok skishoe for more control on downhill slopes. So far very pleased with quality and function. Universal binding appear durable easy to mount onto ski, easy fit for broad range of shoe/boot sizes. Looking forward to many winter outings on these skis after a season on shorter skishoe without metal edges.
