Ski Touring/Mountaineering - Adam St. Ours

When light and fast is the name of the game, but you also don't want to sacrifice any enjoyment on the downhill. After all, the whole point of going up, is so you can get down.

Adam St. Ours's expert gear recommendations on Rendezvu

Products in this list

Dynafit Blacklight Pro Touring Ski by Touring Skis Unisex — Unbelievable combination of lightness and ski ability. I've had these in conditions ranging from bulletproof ice to deep spring corn, bumps to steeps, and everything in between. They're always predictable while being intuitive and easy to ski.
Salomon S/LAB QST ECHO by Salomon — When the snow is plentiful, the Salomon QST Echo is an easy recommendation. From progressing intermediates to experts, hard chargers to playful turners, there isn't a skier who won't get along with the Echo.
Dynafit Blacklight Carbon Binding by Touring Skis Unisex — Bindings are a nebulous product, they work best when you don't realize they're there. That's what the Blacklight does, it provides excellent power transmission to my skis, allowing me to do what I want when I want. They have the safety of a lateral release, all while coming in under 300g/binding.
Fischer Transalp Tour Ski Boot by Fischer Sports — High performance doesn't have to come at the cost of comfort. Tried and true, the Fischer Transalp is a workhorse of a boot that is just as comfortable knocking out fitness laps in the resort as it is on the Haute Traverse in the Alps.
TOUR EXPLORE by Pomoca — Jack of All Trades, the Pomoco Tour Explore is perfect if you want one pair of skins to do it all. From firm to soft, fast and light or superior grip, they have you covered.
MAMMUT Aenergy Light ML Hooded Jacket by Mammut — If I expect a big day in the Backcountry, the Mammut Aenergy Light is my go to mid-layer. It's ultralight and breathable, with just a touch of fleece for insulation.
