As modern ski technology continues to make off-piste
skiing increasingly accessible, more and more people are sampling the delights
of the backcountry. As these skiers become committed freeriders they begin
to look at touring equipment to help them get their fix of off-piste thrills.
If you want to find the best stashes and descents, you have to be prepared
to hike, so why not make use of the excellent equipment now available. It’s
no longer flimsy light-weight skis and scarily soft boots, there are a huge
number of wide-bodied skis with a big variety of sidecuts, and excellent
touring boots that will out perform some dedicated alpine models, all more
than capable of ripping up the backcountry. Touring is not just confined
to remote mountain huts any more, it’s for anyone that is prepared
to work for epic descents and the very best views. To see our biggest range
of touring ski hardware please visit our Kensington store
in London (0207 937 6889). Click the thumbnails below for other backcountry products » |

Ellis Brigham and Scarpa have joined forces to create the Backcountry Centre of Excellence. Located at our Kensington High St. Store, it will offer a larger range of touring boots, making it one of the most comprehensive selections of Scarpa in Europe. It will also house our biggest selection of touring skis and backcountry essentials.
|
Remember that backcountry areas are not patrolled and you need to have an idea of how long it will take you get to where you want to go and how long it will take you to get back into a patrolled area. Make sure you know what time the last lifts of the day run in case you need to use them to get back to your resort.
• Always check the current/latest weather
conditions. If you are new to skiing in off-piste environments make use of some of
the excellent courses now available, such as Chris Fecher’s PureFreeride
camps. |
