Head/Tyrolia took a headfirst dive into the ski touring world for this winter, releasing a lightweight ski line, lightweight three-buckle boots, and new tech binding platform. We recently got our hands on the Crux Pro 105 skis in 177 cm, the Crux Pro boot, and the Almonte 12 PT binding for testing.
What’s new in the ski touring world for next winter? After seeing some under-covered updates for next year about various new products that are coming next year, it seemed like a good time for THR to track down some information on these new developments.
Patagonia’s Nano-Air Ultralight Full-Zip Hoody is active insulation you can be active in. Which, ironically, is not true of most active insulation. As a touring piece, it is highly praised.
La Sportiva’s race class skimo boot, the new Stratos Hybrid, might be the missing piece in this Teton skier’s boot quiver.
Keeping the feet warm and dry during an expedition is key (so is the post-expedition pedicure). Gavin Hess has some suggestions for those planning Alaskan-style trips this spring.
