Afterwards, you'll continue your trek in a more technical area to control ascent and descent type telemark.
Nordic backcountry skiing is originally the ski type invented by Northerners that allows you to move easily in the snowy areas. Nordic backcountry skis are located between the cross-country and downhill skiing. They have a width between 60 and 110mm, an antirollback with scales and are provided with edges. In addition, for climbs, you can add a climbing skin. As for the binding, it's a system keeping the heel free.
