Ski Equipment:

In general, skis should have a no-wax pattern for grip and metal edges for control on ice or hard pack conditions. Minimum width at the tip of the ski should be greater than 62mm.  Wider skis will provide better stability in more difficult conditions

Boots should be over the ankle for support and control, and must be compatible with the bindings on the skis.  Poles should have large baskets so they don't sink in soft snow.  Adjustable poles are good for varying terrain and conditions.

Skis, boots, and poles designed exclusively for skiing on machine groomed tracks are not allowed on this tour.

Number of skiers:   Registration limit is 8 people.
