Schorsch Nickaes, DYNAFIT Product Director and Mountain Guide shows how to start ski touring. In this video it´s all about the right technique while ski touring. Schorsch will show you some facts and figures around the most important techniques.
A summary below:
// Walking technique:
Drag your skis and push your ski forward like a normal stride.
Do not lift your skis, drag them. Do not lean to much forward. Always feel the center of gravity around the forefoot and feel a little pressure on the heel.
Do not stop and go. Find your personal steady pace, it´s better starting rather too slow, than too fast.
// Turning in flat terrain:
You change direction with four strides in flat terrain.
// Turning in steep terrain with kick turns:
In steep terrain, when it gets steeper than 30° you change the direction with kick turns. First change direction with your uphill ski in a 90 degrees ankle to the downhill ski. Than transfer the entire body weight onto your uphill ski. The last step is to lift your lower ski up and turn the leg as close as possible to the other leg. Do not leave the entire weight on the uphill leg.
//Traversing on icy snow:
Role the skis on the entire surfaces. Do not use the edges like you do it with alpine skis.
