Hide tanning

With room for snow from loosened boot cuffs and pants from the climb, no less.

ski looks like dps wailer 112. Just picked this up. Not sure what dynafit bindings they are but I just grabbed some marker kingpin bindings.

You would have to face the other direction to take both off the same way.

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.

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 Thanks for the info

Duncan Wright Would a basic mountaineering helmet be adequate for skimo?

@@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.
