Standing your skis on the front of binding when putting skins on is crucial, and great trick for deep powder days!

It looks like this video is at least 6 years old. I just bought some 2021 DPS F100 RP skis. Do you know if your touring skis were the foundation series and if so how did you like them?

There is NO freakin' way I could rip the skins off while skis are on....that seems to be an expert only move. Rest of advice helpful.
@PaDutchRunner2 жыл бұрын
It’s actually a ton easier than removing the skis particularly if you don’t have brakes. Skips a bunch of steps and the skin comes off far neater.
Its cute when non tele skiers have to deal with all that ice in the binding all the time

@PaDutchRunner5 жыл бұрын
Albert Pesada Helmets for skiing used to be completely unheard of, unless you were a competitive downhiller. It’s kind of odd to me to see it now be such a universal practice, particularly since I stopped skiing about 20 years ago. Sometimes I think its more of a marketing thing - just another piece of high margin gear they can sell you.

@@PaDutchRunner a significant portion of avalanche fatalities are from either trauma or a combination of trauma and asphyxiation. Furthermore, most trauma-related avalanche fatilities involve a head injury. Backcountry skiing is not a sport for those who skimp on safety gear. Modern helmets are surprisingly light, and significantly less expensive than the addition of an Avalung or airbag, so it makes a lot of sense to add one to your touring kit.

Duncan Wright Would a basic mountaineering helmet be adequate for skimo?
@Terminado9075 жыл бұрын
@@PaDutchRunner often, people will opt for climbing/mountaineering helmets for skimo, as they are generally somewhat lighter/more comfortable than ski helmets, but are rated specifically for impacts from above. A dual certified helmet such as the Hagan Core, Salomon MTN LAB, or the Dynafit DNA protects from skiing and climbing -related impacts, while remaining light enough to wear up and down the mountain.
