Karhu

Description

Karhu was founded in Finland in 1916, building cross-country skis for the Scandinavian market. The name Karhu means bear in Finnish, hence the Skiing Bear logo found on Karhu skis. From its home in Kitee Finland, Karhu Sporting Goode produces some of the most technical Racing and Performance skis.

In 1976 Doug Barbor, along with some partners, founded Karhu Canada to manufacture cross-country skis for the U.S. and Canadian markets. For three decades, the factory in Cowansville Quebec specialized in Backcountry and Telemark skis and Karhu quickly established itself as the number one source for metal-edge Nordic skis.

Today, Nordic Skiing is seeing renewed interest in North America and the interest is coming from all directions. Mountain bikers are exploring winter singletrack on XCD Backcountry skis. Runners and road bikers are staying fit at touring centers on Fitness Touring and Racing skis. Alpine skiers are seeking new adventures and challenges on Telemark and Alpine Touring skis. Karhu is committed to supporting this growth with a diverse offering of Nordic skis, boots and bindings to take your winter experience to the next level.
