[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1574889, member: 54178"] Co Guy, Your alpine ("downhill") skis are fine until you get very serious about backcountry travel.. Remove the old alpine bindings, fill the holes with epoxy resin and get balata type bindings. Not great turning control but you can walk/glide in them. The militaries of the world use them. Look up "climbing skins". I like my G3 brand skins. You can walk right up steep hills with them. They are rearward facing mohair strips with special glue on the backing that allows them to stick on waxed skis yet can easily be peeled off. They have to be cut to length & width following included instructions. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
