Ski mountaineering is a skiing discipline that involves climbing mountains either on skis or carrying them, depending on the steepness of the ascent, and then descending on skis. Backcountry skiing, also called off-piste, is skiing in the backcountry on unmarked or unpatrolled areas either inside or outside a ski resort’s boundaries.
Required equipment: skis with mountaineering bindings, ski mountaineering boots, backcountry ski poles, ski climbing skins, shovel, ARTVA (avalanche transceiver), probe, backpack.
