Woodski announces the release of the new CT classic roller ski – the first of its kind with tracking adjusters. A simple, precise adjuster on the front wheel allows for simple tracking control as wheels wear. The CT comes with the XL brake (integral on all Woodski roller skis), a choice of wheel speed, and a lifetime warrantee on shafts. Woodski has also introduced ski carrying bags.
