Poster: A snowHead
|
I've always tried to have a good up to down ratio when touring ie if you need to skin up 500m you should get at least double that on the way down. I want to take it to the next level, no up at all.
What do people think about 100% lift served touring. I can see loads of advantages, no need for special light skis or even skins, easy access to pisted snow, and cheaper insurance.
The only downside I can see is having to buy a lift pass.

@jbob, excellent idea. I have an underused in winter elicopter that might help?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Great idea, but I'm not sure that this should be available throughout the winter. Surely the lifts should be reserved for on-piste skiers who are the bread and butter of resorts' income. Maybe your 100% lift-served touring should be reserved for the end of the season only, perhaps from 1 April through to the end of the season?

@jbob,
Are you fed up at home now or what?
Nice day tours like the Crochues-Berard fit into your happy medium. The authorities however need to piste the last mile as it was a very unaccomodating on Monday.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@HammondR, great idea. All those piste machines are doing nothing all day, why not get them on the off piste and make it a bit easier to ski. That's the trouble with skiing it's too difficult.
And, yes.

Yes, I'm a bit confused too. How is touring without any uphill any different from skiing around a big ski area? Do you mean just that you book accommodation in different villages every night and wear the same thermals a few days in a row?
