Ski mountaineering and the case for skinny, not fat skis


An interesting concept; perhaps even more important, if your main goal is climbing, and not powder.  Skimo boards are light, which is a real plus if you are already caring ropes and a climbing rack. Moreover, skimo racing boots are light and perfect for ice or mixed climbing routes. And yes, you won't have a powder orgasm after your climb, however you will make it down to catch the last telepherique.
