Thousands of Marines will get new skis for cold-weather ops
By: Andrea Scott   December 29, 2017
The Marine Corps is spending $7 million on new skis for Marines to train in cold weather, a Marine Corps official said.
The move comes after Marines found that some of their current skis were breaking, said Barbara Hamby, a spokeswoman for Marine Corps Systems Command.
The Marine Corps plans to buy a total of 2,648 sets of new skis, boots and bindings for scout snipers, reconnaissance Marines and some infantry Marines, Hamby told Marine Corps Times on Friday.
