Tips for Choosing Your Gear

Before buying, define your practice (fast ascent, committed touring, powder). Think about the whole: skis, bindings, skins, boots.

• Length: take a ski 5–15 cm shorter than your alpine length for maneuverability.
• Width: < 85 mm for performance touring, > 90 mm for powder.
• Stiffness: softer = comfort, stiffer = stability at high speed.
• Check compatibility with your boots and bindings.

For approach and technical outings, also consider Scott trail shoes for comfort off-ski.

A often overlooked point: choose your climbing skins for touring based on the ski (width, material) for better glide and adhesion.
