Up & Up - The Skinny on Skinning

Uphill skiing, also know as "skinning", is the practice of climbing up a mountain slope with skis fitted using specialized bindings & boots with adhesive skins attached that line the bottom of the skis to provide grip on the snow. This activity has given me a whole new aspect and respect for the mountains. Earn your turns have never been more true. With this sport, a whole new set of gear and attire are necessary. Below you will find my list of what to wear (layers!!) and the best equipment in the game. Happy up up!
