#ski gear debate

What's your take on waxless skis as a greener choice for backcountry touring?

Is the obsession with ultra-light carbon skis sacrificing durability for a gram-counting ego boost?

Does anyone else think parabolic skis are overrated for steep couloirs?

Is freeride skiing just a marketing gimmick for people who can actually ski properly?

Would you ever trust aluminium bindings over carbon in backcountry terrain?
