Civilised trail-breakers don\u2019t murder their friends<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe ascent begins. Someone hoiks their heel lifts, unzips their GoreTex under the armpits and sets off for the summit at warp speed. Oh, no. It\u2019s going to be one of these, then.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWe\u2019ve all been there. The gasping for air begins rapidly. Layers are removed. Spurious \u201ctechnical breaks\u201d to fiddle with the heel bars come every couple of minutes. Laboured kick-turns on the steep bits. The chocolate muesli bars are gone before you\u2019re half-way up. When you summit, you\u2019re drenched in sweat, leaking lactic acid, head throbbing, wondering if you\u2019ll have the muscle to hold an edge on the scary bit 500 metres below.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIs the pain worth it? Well\u2026 no. It\u2019s totally unnecessary. We guarantee that if you take it a little easier, and follow a more civilised line up, you\u2019ll get to the top in basically the same time and you\u2019ll be able to enjoy the view.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Listen to experienced mountaineers<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDThe tanned, trim 60-year-old guide who travels thousands of meters altitude every week goes at a snail\u2019s pace and won\u2019t touch the heel bar unless they have to. And, actually, have you ever wondered why rando-race bindings don\u2019t have the highest level of heel-lift?\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nYouthful confidence is awesome. But when it comes to walking safely and efficiently in the mountains, do as the elders do. If you\u2019re keeping your powder dry for the descent, you\u2019re doing it right. Sprinting uphill for exercise is valid, knock yourself out, go for it \u2013 but if it\u2019s a multi-day trip with a peak a day then the advice below will be more than useful!\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nLaying a good trail up the mountain is an art. It should be cultivated! Be cunning. Save your energy for the descent. Don\u2019t blow up your posse. Keep it safe and smooth. Minimise risk.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Safer touring<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHere are some simple, concrete and useful tips on using judgment to find safe routes up the mountain. It is not always easy. But it’s strictly necessary to stay safe and to get good skiing. The aim is the maximum number of descents before retirement with nothing broken and no one lost.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The five basic pillars of hitting the slopes with skins under your skis!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A truly competent, experienced, ski guide would probably say there are about twenty basic rules. We\u2019re sticking to five to make it as concrete as possible. Consider them the basic pillars of laying down ski tracks the right way \u2013 a checklist of things to remember the next time you point your skis to the peat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1. Minimise your exposure to risk<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMinimise your exposure to risk. The most notorious risk on steep snow-cover is, of course, avalanche. There are also injuries of all kinds; dangerous snow formations; other skiers; snow falling from trees; falling rocks. Possible harm or very great inconvenience, basically.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBefore you set out, plan a little. Read about the route; put yourself in it. Ask yourself: \u201cWhat can get you on this tour and how?\u201d Answering this tells you what to avoid. You might also do this when you\u2019re standing on flat ground looking up at the mountain, tracing possible lines up. Identify terrain traps, avalanche trigger points and avalanche terrain. And avoid them, too.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nImagine that you\u2019re all looking up at a mountainside and assessing the terrain as so complex that it\u2019s difficult to find a safe route. Is it essential to go up this way if you can find safer alternatives around the corner?\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFor\u00a0those familiar with ATES\/KAST terrain classification<\/a>, you might recognise this as Class 2 terrain just from the little we write here. And what does that mean? Does your party have the capacity, knowledge and grounding to handle this?\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cChallenging terrain\u201d is terrain where one is exposed to avalanche release areas, avalanche run-out areas, terrain traps and several other formations. The terrain offers the possibility of several route choices, and\u00a0with careful selection,\u00a0exposure to avalanche terrain can be greatly reduced or eliminated (note the \u201ccan\u201d here!)\r\n\r\nAn alpine ski tour typically moves through terrain like this.\r\n\r\nIf one is going to move into terrain of this class, one must be able to actively make route choices accounting for avalanche terrain<\/strong> and the constitution of layered snow cover<\/strong> and have good orienteering skills.<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\nClass 2 is not normally suitable for large groups (more than 6 people).\r\n\r\nSkills recommended for safe transit:<\/strong>\r\nMake active route choices according to\u00a0terrain and avalanche risk\r\nAssess snow cover on gradients\r\nGood orientation skills are essential<\/strong>\r\nRecognise avalanche terrain\r\nInterpret avalanche risk summaries\r\nRescue skills\r\nGeneral winter outdoor skills<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRemember that exposure on the way up the mountain can extend to hours while descents can be measured in minutes. Skiing fast under a hazard for a couple of seconds is something completely different from walking uphill under it for 90 minutes!\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2. Efficiency<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nOnce you’ve picked out areas less prone to avalanches, you can try to link these zones to consistent, lower-angled terrain allowing you to maintain a relatively gentle and efficient track. Aim for the track to be no steeper than 12\u00b0 to 15\u00b0.\r\n\r\nWHAT!? Only 12 to 15 degrees? That\u2019s right. Just because lean, mean rando-race machines are capable of skinning up a 22\u00b0 incline at warp speed doesn\u2019t make it makes sense. For most of us, ditching the heel bars and taking a more relaxed route really pays off. You keep your heart rate down, you sweat less, and produce less lactic acid. The energy you save is better spent on the tour\u2019s principle purpose \u2013 the descent.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Perfect, smooth tracks.\r\nPhoto: Crister N\u00e6ss<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nClimbing an easier trail allows you to communicate more effectively with the others in your party. Not least because you\u2019re not stacked one on top of another, repeatedly kick-turning. We know that poor communication is one of the main causes of avalanche incidents, so going slow and keeping a pace that allows everyone enough time to communicate make sense! If you go so steeply or fast no one can talk, it comes at the expense of communication.\r\n\r\nAn easy ascent, at a civilised pace, means that we avoid gasping for air and frequent use of the heel elevator. Did you know that on average you spend close to half a minute every time you fiddle with the heel bar? Do it 6 to 7 times with people behind you on the ascent and you can be sure there will be stirs of annoyance. Go, rather, for a smooth and safe track and keep a steady rhythm. It\u2019s the best for everyone.\r\n\r\nKick turns, incidentally, are the enemy of good rhythm and communication. The kick turn is an essential manoeuvre; it\u2019s something we all need to have in the toolkit. But it\u2019s something we should all learn how to avoid having to do in the first place.\r\n\r\nDoes anyone, honestly, want to have to perform a single more kick turn than is absolutely necessary? No. On a perfect powder day, with blue skies and gorgeous conditions, round, easy, gentler curves are the order of the day. And it\u2019s more efficient than the kick turn, that\u2019s absolutely for sure!\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMake long, consistent sections when you\u2019re breaking trail, and rounded turns when you have to avoid steeper terrain, danger, or to connect to another part of the slope with low exposure and a kinder angle.<\/strong><\/em>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThere is no magic, ideal, gradient.\r\n\r\nThe ideal trail is the trail in which the party doesn\u2019t exhaust itself, and can continue to think ski-related thoughts: the snow; the view; the power of hot chocolate. If you\u2019re in the lead, and you can hear your friends below you cursing as they battle up the steep sections, this isn’t the ideal trail. There\u2019s nothing wrong with attempting to avoid lifting the heel bars \u2013 keep them down and go as steep as comfort allows.<\/strong> \u201cGo the steep way,\u201d the heel lifts sing. Ignore their siren song. As the track packs down, it becomes more slippery. Listen to your lungs instead.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

3. Gather information<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you\u2019re on the best track, you should also maximise opportunities to collect observations \u2013 snow cover, terrain, conditions. If a detour of a few hundred meters allows you to dig a \u201cquickpit<\/a>\u201d or to glean relevant or similar information about the snow cover you intend to ski down, then it\u2019s worth it. With another in the party, you can even do a quick compression test.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Snow profiles, quick shovel tests, speedy “quickpits” and anything else you can do to get more information about the snow cover are very useful!\r\nPhoto: Crister N\u00e6ss<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWe\u2019ve started a tour with some parameters jotted down in a notebook. If we\u2019re worried, for example, that we may to have to traverse wind-slabbed snow, or there\u2019s the risk of fracture propagation, then we can try to make tracks through a corresponding but safe part of the face we plan to ski. This is useful information to have before we make altitude.\r\n\r\nIn short, your galaxy-superbrain-level tracks keeps you safer, fresher in your legs, and now wiser for any decisions you may have to make and for the descent itself. Well done!\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

4. Communicate and have fun!<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAre we having fun yet?\u00a0Well \u2013 not necessarily, no, not if we\u2019re hammering uphill, heat-rates high, heel bars as high as they\u2019ll go. Not much bandwidth for chat.\u00a0On a week-long cabin trip, we can get away with a day or two of this. A week\u2019s pushing it, though. If it dumps 50cm overnight, it\u2019ll be preferable to hit the steeps rather than be lying prostrate on your bunk unable to bend your legs.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It never hurts to take a breather, swap observations and check in.\r\nPhoto: Sverre Hj\u00f8rnevik<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTake a breather, make a decision, make an observation in the best place for it. It may as well be beautiful if you have to do it anyway. Whenever possible, make it a nice, flat place where everyone can hang out and have a nice moment. You know it when you see it. A group of six skiers strung through a steep slope in a dense forest, say, probably isn\u2019t it.\r\n\r\nKeeping the atmosphere nice also facilitates communication. Keeping a civilised pace and choosing a relaxed, pleasant place to stop, keeps the conversation going. A mood conducive to conversation is the right mood to maintain an active culture of teamwork and shared observations.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

5. Look at my mighty works and praise my genius<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBefore you tear off the skins, lock your heels (or leave them free for bonus points), climb aboard the split board and make the final decision \u2013 take a moment. Turn around. Enjoy the elegant, agile, carefully crafted route to the peak. These tracks should ideally look as if someone just floated up the mountain on a magic carpet of wisdom, experience and propitious information.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMake your tracks a signature. A sign of mastery. You should look down the mountain and notice others actively choosing your track rather than the high angle alternative with its kick turns and frozen sweat!\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Smooth lines and fresh tracks in the snow. Almost like a work of art where the ski tracks are carefully selected brushstrokes. Seriously.\r\nPhoto: Sverre Hj\u00f8rnevik<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn short, be proud of the trail you break. People should feel relaxed, safer and more stoke-filled after following your lead.\r\n\r\nAnd now \u2013 check in with the crew. Lock your heels or let them hang free. Reap what you have sown. This is what it\u2019s for, and it\u2019s\u00a0basically the best thing in the world.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
