How to Use Alpine Touring Bindings

 

These days there are several different alpine touring bindings on the market. To help clarify the differences in how they operate we’ve put together a list of instructional videos and guides to help heighten your Alpine Touring experience.

Climbing Skins

The Ute describes how to put on, take off, and store your climbing skins while backcountry skiing or ski touring.

A few notes on climbing skins that weren’t mentioned in the video:

  • Always store your skins in a cool and dry place. The glue on the skins is designed to work in cold environments, if it is left in a hot environment it can damage the skin glue.

  • When putting your skins in long term storage always use a skin saver. A skin saver is any type of non-stick material used to separate the skin glue from sticking to itself when folding up a skin. Thin sheets of mesh or even butcher paper will work. We personally like to use Black Diamond’s Cheat Sheets.
