Subject: RE: Where to buy roller skies? Several to choose from in the MN/WI area, where you can shop online New Moon Ski shop in Hayward, WI home of the American Birkebeiner. They only carry V2 brand of rollerskis I think. Riverbrook bike and ski shop in Seeley, WI (near the "OO" halfway point of the Birkie). They only carry Jenex brand I think. Eagle River Nordic in Wisconsin sells 'em Finn Sisu in Twin Cities carries Marwe rollerskis, which is the brand I use...I love the Marwe 610 skate rollerski. If you purchase this model see if you can order the softer wheels which gives a more on-snow speed to them, versus the harder wheels which are faster and gives you less of a workout. Reliable Racing out of NY sells rollerskis also. You should also check out CAT skis (Classical All Terrain) for classical training which can be used off-road. I finally bought some this year and can't wait until after IM WI to try them out this fall. Good luck! Edited by Birkierunner 2008-08-25 9:35 AM
