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

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".

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.
