Backcountry Tips from a Pro
Making Tracks

Tour in style. Be conscious of your body position while touring and save energy on the skin track. Dobbins recommends looking past the tips of your skis to the terrain ahead. “You don’t want to look down,” he says. “Where you look is where your body tends to go. If you’re hunched over, it doesn’t keep your weight centered over the skins.” Keep your body upright and don’t break at the waist to be energy efficient. —Olivia Dwyer
