[@heisen7000]

A handful of super useful tips even for a seasoned backcountry skier. Appreciate this great video!

[@jeffward4121]

I’m always impressed with Jeff Ward’s

[@StevenMasur]

best video i’ve seen to answer all the little tiny questions you have about problems to avoid in order to maximize fun and minimize hassle.

[@sebastian31337]

A ton of information packed into a whopping 7.5min video, awesome! You love to see it 🤩

[@RAltounian]

ive watched a lot of videos, i realize now i was just waiting for this one. great . job

[@XPLAlN]

Wow, after 25 years skiing backcountry I learned something useful on YT today. Shame I can't go out for a month except for "essential shopping".

[@jean-francoisbertrand2635]

I really like that -- very helpful for a rookie rando skier like me!

[@fernandog.aguirre2791]

great way to educated new skiers coming to the sport. Great job!! Thank you!!!

[@frankh3057]

Standing your skis on the front of binding when putting skins on is crucial, and great trick for deep powder days!

[@thomasmedeiros5722]

Excellent instructional video. Many good tips for transition.

A little silicone spray to keep the snow from sticking under the toe works

[@mark_blake]

Hi Jeff, great concise video for newbies. Q - what size of day pack do you recommend. I'm torn between 25 to 35L for the very long days w 3L of water. Havent pulled the pin on a new pack. Thks. Mark.

[@DJEpisteme]

Seriously best vid I've seen thank you! shits real

[@SteveLarese]

Excellent video, thanks!

[@willhodgman1759]

Josh is the king of the BC!

[@lorafelicity5472]

Useful. There was some text saying lock heel but I'd have liked to have seen how he does that with the skis on.

[@Qamera]

Nice! Also - what kind of gloves are you using?

[@davidvigneux6929]

This video is gold!

[@ifyoucantripitslipit.3844]

Nice vid. I learned some good shit.

[@darinsmith2458]

It looks like this video is at least 6 years old. I just bought some 2021 DPS F100 RP skis. Do you know if your touring skis were the foundation series and if so how did you like them?

[@MrBurkness]

Noice...concise and to the point, yo!

[@Lesdig891]

Sweet vid!

[@cyclingnerddelux698]

Killer video.

[@nicolaslitwin627]

and wearing a helmet?

[@timshoultz3615]

Thanks for the great video!

[@willmcgregor7184]

Thanks ! Many tips

[@stevenbelport1858]

Can I get a list of your ski equipment..ski, boot, binding, skin etc? thx

[@hupo]

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.

[@easternbluebird9371]

Nice video! I see you`ve got an Osprey abs pack, why would you recommend it?

[@se0ul_train]

thank you for this!

[@David-nn9mr]

Thanks! Question: Why do you use different skin rip technique for downhill vs. uphill ski?

[@marm562]

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

[@almortera]

What ski gloves are you wearing? thanks!

[@coreymclernon]

Nice! Thanks!

[@4SteamboatRealEstate]

Super helpful

[@VangelisStavroulakis]

nice thanks

[@kayakutah]

Good info.

[@peteballam4037]

Hide tanning

[@cosmokenney]

Are those AT bindings?

[@thephore]

7:07 magician

[@Wanderlust073]

Missed the part where you step off your ski and plunge in up to your hip, lol

[@steelonius]

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

[@CARDAOB]

Can you explain why you choose not to wear your crotch strap on your airbag?

[@benswaner2361]

what jacket is he wearing?

[@GhostFaceRida]

+Ben Swaner Transonic jacket - www.rei.com/product/846525/outdoor-research-transonic-rain-jacket-mens

[@tanyaradowiczboillot5137]

There is NO freakin' way I could rip the skins off while skis are on....that seems to be an expert only move. Rest of advice helpful.

[@PaDutchRunner]

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.

[@kenanvanvranken7817]

so casual

[@Nondezeusproduction]

Isn’t bad to stab your skis in snow

[@Ben-ok2ue]

You need to title this more accurately.

[@Thestripper1]

Dude, are you skiing without ski brakes!? That is a rookie move. You'll see :)

[@TR-nw8hz]

Its cute when non tele skiers have to deal with all that ice in the binding all the time

[@nadapublicidadNo]

And... where is your helmet?

[@PaDutchRunner]

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.

[@Terminado907]

@@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.

[@PaDutchRunner]

Duncan Wright Thanks for the info

[@PaDutchRunner]

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

[@Terminado907]

@@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.

Which skins does he use? If i put mine together, glue on glue, they never gonna separate.
