#techtiptuesday : Transitions in steep terrain

☝️Build yourself a platform.

✌️Plunge your poles into the snow, grips down and sling your backpack shoulder strap over the poles. This ensures you won’t drop your pack.

👉Jabbing your ski tails into the snow makes it easier to engage your bindings. If you orient them with the tips pointing slightly up, it’s easier to get your toes into the toe piece.

🦾Make sure your feet are properly engaged in the bindings, all your vents are closed🙀 and proceed to drop in⛷🏂❄️

Last run of the day and first day as a mentor. I’ve had lots of good ones in my career so far; it was fun to turn over a new leaf and help someone else pursue their goals.

It was a beautiful day in the Slocan today. It was nice to add a summit, a 1500m run and a bonus pitch into it too.
