  • I currently have three ski setups: light, medium and heavy. this video covers my medium setup which is probably the setup I ski on the most. This is a great ski and boot combination for those days when you don't know what you might encounter. Update: Just tore the edge out of these skis on Shasta so I'm in the market for a new pair of do-it-all ski's

    Oh boy I am old and from a different time and world.I used to do back country skiing in Colorado in the late 1960's and early 1970's on my Trisulnutt wooden skis with 3 pin bindings with no heal clamp downs. We sure did ski lost of incredible places leaving tracks others just look at in awe! One other advantage was, we always had the entire mountain range to ourselves.

      If you watch the main Chanel you learn that this is mainly a hiking Chanel over a skiing Chanel and Kristoff is this guys best friend or something that he always does stuff with.

    Ive seen people using really short skins, from the front to back of the heel, in order to shave weight, but also to get better glide - any experience with this?

  • @myenduranceproject5181
    @myenduranceproject5181 4 роки тому +2

    I've never felt any less secure on really light race bindings than on heavier dynafit versions. Race bindings on every touring ski I own, and my fatter skis are all driven by older TLT6's. With the range of motion of those Fischer boots I would never even think about the loss of a true flat position or climbing risers.

    Danny, What pants do you typically wear for your alpine hikes when skiing? I believe I’ve seen you guys wearing soft shell pants on a few of the videos.

    • @cnuila
      @cnuila 4 роки тому +3

      We wear soft shell ski touring pants on probably 99% of all our winter outings. A good example of one of our favorites is the Dynafit Mercury 2 Pant. We both own a few pair in different colors because they check all the boxes for what make a good ski touring pant.

    @nedtomlinson5966 4 роки тому +2

    Hey, I think those leash loops are designed to break like that in case of avalanche, so the skis do not become an anchor. Or in case of a heavy fall they can still release completely from you so you don't tangled or twisted up by a ski that is lodged under an immovable object. Not sure how the loop broke but I think that part is designed to fail exactly like it did.
