Remember talking bout touring bindings in a thread the other week? You can get a snowboard that splits in 2 with special bindings to the same effect. When they have 'skinned' up the hill in skiing style they can clip their board back together and go down sideyways. Poles are pretty essential to 'touring' or 'skinning' regardless of the method chosen.

A lot of snow-shoeing goes on here, Rose, I imagine you would like it!

There was me hoping someone had inserted them in a body cavity in penance for sitting in the middle of the piste and he was returning them!

We like X country skiing, usually start a holiday doing that. Enjoyed it even more this year, cos' straight from the door, also some floodlit so could do a bit in the evenings. There's no way I can see you cross country skiing. :lol:
