Used Paris TOURING Womens XC Skis Only Grey 200 cm

Used Paris Touring Womens XC Skis Only – Grey 200 cm

Paris Manufacturing Company (Paris, Maine, est. 1861) was a classic American maker of wooden cross-country and touring skis from the early 1900s through the mid-20th century. Originally known for sleds and toys, they produced durable hickory or laminated wood Nordic skis popular for recreational touring on ungroomed trails or light backcountry use. "Touring" models were designed for traditional classic technique – long, stable, and forgiving for all-day outings.

These 200 cm grey touring skis (no bindings included) are vintage classics, suited for taller women (typically 5'8"+ / 173 cm+ height) or those preferring longer lengths for better glide and stability on softer snow. At 200 cm, they're on the longer side for classic XC – ideal for experienced tourers wanting efficient tracking rather than quick maneuverability.

Typical features of vintage Paris touring skis:

• Solid or laminated hardwood (often hickory) construction for flexibility and toughness.
• Ridge-top or grooved base design (early models); many waxable for custom grip/glide.
• No metal edges – pure Nordic touring, not for downhill or icy conditions.
• Simple, elegant graphics; grey colorway suggests a mid-century model.
• Great for nostalgic skiing, cabin decor, or light recreational use today
