the rules of ski mountaineering


Rule #1 - make sure you have a plan.  If the night before is good enough, yes.
Rule #2 - make sure you pack harshies.  Well 2 out of 3 isn't bad.
Rule #3 - ensure that pants are the correct size.  Bugger.

Rule #4 - never, ever eat buckwheat.  Avoid at all costs.  We paid the price.


Rule #5 - preorder a ridiculously greedy amount of fresh powder.  A massive fail. 

Rule #6 - ensure that edges on ski's are sharp.  Errrrrr.......

Rule #7 - make sure that everyone is wearing bright shiny colours for photo's and video.  Boys, bright colours underneath stealth-ninja-black does not count.  No.  No.  No.

Obviously room for improvement so that's the reason for next year...

For more detail on where we actually went, you need to check out the website.
