Narrow, metal edge, waxless, 157 cm X-country skis?
 
One of my wife's Fischer Adventure Revolution 157 cm cross country skis
has lost an edge. She's very fond of that particular model and size
(even though what we mostly do is just shuffle along on groomed trails
or backcountry forest roads -- no downhill turns), but it's no longer
made, and eBay listings are thin to nonexistent.

Anyone have a pointer to a narrow, metal edge, waxless, 157 cm X-country
ski of any brand, new or used?

Thanks.

That's shorter than anything I've seen (though the supply in the UK is
limited). Sporten Foresters come in 165 is the nearest I've personally
come across.

Here they are on ebay in Canada:

Also take a look at: "http://www.skirack.com/browse.cfm/4,3520.html" at

Thanks very much for reply. Apparently Fischer made these skis with
both waxless (fishscale) and smooth bottoms, and the ebay link is the
latter.

The Skirack store in Burlington seems to have very similar skis in a
bunch of different brands, however.

Thanks again.
