SKI TOURING

Intro to Ski Touring

This course is designed to get participants using metal-edged backcountry ski, with “fishscales” for climbing and a downhill-inspired shape and design for the descent. This area of the sport is growing rapidly; the equipment is light and stable, easy to use but also very fun! You’ll learn climbing and downhill techniques then get a chance to practice your skills exploring rolling ungroomed terrain. The terrain in the Northeast lends itself well to this type of equipment, with lots ups and downs. With the right equipment and training, you’ll love it! READ MORE
