How To Ski Tour | Safety, Kick Turns, Planning and More

Good stuff Jens. What I will say is, nothing beats doing your AST1 course. Getting hands on and used to your equipment before heading out is very important. Having the equipment is useless without knowing how to use it. Understanding your transceiver is especially important.Just to add, skiing down after your tour should be planned and methodical. Rarely do you ski down together. I hope people read this comment.

If you are alone in the mountains you probs will die sooner or later. More like being in the team of 3-4 if you are pro, or 8-9 if you are enthusiast\amateurs.

Great content! Thanks!

This guy with mastash is rad skier ha!?

Great tutorial, it's easy and fun to watch. You're my Sking guru Dave. Thankyou!

Class channel! Thank you.

Sound tips, great tutorial and very well presented. Would love to see more on equipment, more precise clothing, materials, layering, being prepared for temperature extremes and what to wear/what to pack …cool stuff 🤘

c’est genial

What touring skis would you advise to buy? Will be my first touring season. I would like a balance between being light but very good for downhill ski.

Couple of questions :)
Is skin re-usable?
Are those skis while going down are as comfortable/give same feeling as regular downhill skis?

Thanks!

Thanks guys!

I went ski touring for the first time last weekend and I absolutely loved it!

However, I had an issue making turns with my feet at 180 degrees due to my in-turned feet or rather internal tibial torsion. I was told I will struggle to do ski touring because of this. I cannot change it (I've tried, a lot), so I was wondering if it's absolutely necessary. Is there a way to make turns without such a drastic turning of the feet?

Excellent video as always. Really solid and unpretentious. Thank you. If you and Dave make more touring videos I will watch them.

The fast pint hisologically colour because norwegian possibly muddle upon a agreeable save. useful, lying ikebana

The legend says, he keeps saying "yeah" before every single sentence

Id love to see dave back again to teach about how to limit your avalanche risk as much as possible and test for avalanches on the mountain

Boaring stuff here

This was great. Thank you. Very helpful indeed

The camera shots are NOT AT ALL helpful for an overall view on how to work with this gear.

This vieo is so helpful and super relaxing to watch!! :)

Pro tip: take your probe out of the case (can save vital seconds)

Very cool. All of it

Sir,i am a big fan of yours and appreciate if you can gift me a skii because i can't afford it, thanks.

howcome a\t people are such douches

An ice climbing video with Dave would be so cool

Hey jens what vest is that it looks so comfortable

What are the holes in the front of the boots that the pins go into called?

I just got my first pair of at skis so I’m super excited to go ski Quandry!

What do you think of those shift bindings? How is the downhill on them? And what ski would you recommend for resort powder, Bent chetler 100, 120 or black crows atris?

The tutorial I needed! I actually completely forgot about this video. Definitely good timing for it with regards to all the resorts closing due to covid-19.

Thanks for making this!

Just the right content to show my sister what backcountry skiing is all about! Thanks

Great video, more from Dave pleae

Climbing up the mountain is just something I have no interest in. Lifts work great for me.

Nice, practical and easy to grasp vid guys. Thank you.

Most important thing when setting a skin track: make shallow, wide, switchbacks, especially if it's a large group. It should be like an easy hiking trail, not steep ramps. If it's a big group, the track will get packed down a lot and become very difficult for the last people to ascend because it's so smooth.

Great video. I love the trick for testing for 30° slope.

Traduction french please

What binding it is please? Thank you!

I feel it's safer to do a kick turn with your downhill ski first and you are supporting your body with your poles into the hill. It was awkward how you had to not hit your uphill pole

What skins did you use in this video? I woule really appreciate an answer, thanks 😊

I'd honestly always pack crampons. You never know when you find yourself on a hill which is shadow exposed and icy - even during a hot day

Think backcountry is becoming more interesting to a lot of people that are getting sick of Disney style resorts and crowded slopes. It's pure!

Why do you user the Atomic shift and the backcountry 107?
