Nordic Camber

Also known as Double Camber.

A ski curvature that is characterised by a high central section, a pronounced arch, and a wax pocket underfoot. This type of camber is seen in general touring and backcountry touring skis.

The ski base is held up off of the snow's surface slightly by the flex and shape of the ski. The centre of the wax pocket is pressed into the snow for traction during the kick phase of classic striding.
