The opinion of Aventure Nordique
The Hok is designed as an easy to use skishoe for the backcountry. Hok's are a mix between BC skis & snowshoes, making them a great tool for all backcountry activities. Also professional workers like these "sliding snowshoes".
Its short wide dimensions make the ski incredibly maneuvrable, and the integrated clibing skin gives the Hok great traction for climbing.
The Hok features a synthetic climbing skin integrated into the base of the ski, steel edges for durability, and a light weight cap constuction.

when the snow is hard-packed can you “skate” in these too?
Dear Eila,
These skis perform well in powder or soft snow. You will be able to slide on hard snow. On the other hand, in hard snow, the ski is difficult to control, so it is not recommended.

The Hok is the ski I reach for when I want to ski in our fields. I have the 125 cm with the EA binding to use as a ski shoe/sliding snow shoe. I have 2 145 cm - 1 with 75 mm bindings for better downhill control, 1 with Solomon X-Adv, SNS BC, for better kick and glide (Altai has a mounting plate for System, 75 mm, bindings that mounts on the Hok's pre-installed bushings.)
