TERMS & SPECIFICATIONS
Going uphill or across a flat also requires grip, so that the ski will glide forward but not slide backwards when weighted. Most types of ski require the use of sticky wax or climbing skins for their smooth surface to grip.
Ski bindings leave the heels free while going uphill and fixed while skiing downhill.
Touring involves navigating and route finding through potential avalanche terrain, and often requires a guide familiar with landscape. Safe ski touring also requires every team member to have an avalanche rescue equipment.
