What is Ski Touring?

Ski Touring or Skinning is a challenging winter sport, in which you first ascend the slope before skiing down. Before the first-ever ski lift was invented in 1908 by German, Robert Winterhalder, the only way to get up a mountain was by hiking or climbing.

As years have gone by, most of us now choose to use a ski lift, however, you may have seen those people walking up or people heading off into the backcountry, not on the piste, they are ski touring.

Ski touring is more about uphill than it is downhill, It's about the physical challenge of skinning up and hiking to the top of the mountain before descending down. The rewards of ski touring are massive, not only will ski touring allow you to see parts of the mountain many will never see, but it will also get you really fit at the same time.

The rewards of the downhill ski are a lot more rewarding knowing you have earned it.

With ski touring being such a demanding winter sport, a comfortable and well thought out touring pack is a necessity.

What makes a good Ski Touring Backpack?

A high-end technical touring backpack shouldn't be a chore to wear on your back. Over the years they have evolved from being heavy and clunky to now very streamline and comfortable ready for any demanding ski tour. Here's what to look out for in a good ski touring pack: 


Volume:

Every good touring pack should come with enough volume to pack for multi-day trips, ranging from 30 to 45 litres of usable volume, this should allow you to pack all of the ski touring necessities such as:

  • Skins
  • Crampons
  • Base Layers 1 / 2
  • Ski jacket
  • Ski Shell
  • Spare Gloves & Hat
  • Compass
  • Shovel
  • Probe
  • First Aid Kit
  • Thermals
  • Goggles
  • Water Bottle
  • Head Lamp
  • Sunglasses
  • Tool Kit (VersaTool, Binding Screws, Steel Wool, Lighter, Voile Straps)
  • Ski Scraper

You can also find the occasional 20 litre ski touring packs which is enough for small day tours when just packing a spare layer, camera and lunch.


Back Shape:

When ascending and descending the mountain the last thing you need is a pack that slides around when you move.

The Ski touring packs we supply from Ortovox, Osprey and more adapt to the natural S-shape of the spine through a Predetermined Curvature of the back systems and ensures that the backpack closely Surrounds The Back.

With optimal body-hugging fit, the padded back systems and stable hip belts make the packs secure with any movement.

Brands like Ortovox & Osprey offer ski touring packs specially made for those with shorter back lengths.


Materials used:

All brands believe in their own choice of fabrics but they all hold the same features, they're strong, resistant to abrasion and weatherproof which is exactly what you need in a good ski touring pack.

Here's what brands use in their packs:
