Backcountry skiing
Outdoors
Backcountry skiing (also called alpine touring) is much more than a simple hike. It’s about enjoying the snowy slopes by climbing uphill on skis and then transition to downhill, without a ski lift to get you to the top. Backcountry skiers get an invigorating workout as they make their way up steep terrain. Their efforts are rewarded with spectacular mountain-top views.
