SKI TOURING SKI PACK SESSION 89 MOVEMENT + SKINS

What is Mountain Touring

Mountain Touring is our definition of cross-country skiing in the mountains.

Go for it, create your climbing route far away from the ski resorts.

Go back down to where the snow looks better and the slope is less exposed to avalanche risks.

For authentic cross-country skiing.

Given the natural aspects of the mountainous surroundings, you must have good technique, prepare your outings and have a good understanding of your avalanche safety equipment.

Don't head out alone.

Ski skins

The skins (Pro Climb 2.0 by Pomoca) that come with the Session 89 skis are trimmed and cut to the length and width of the ski.

They include 70% Mohair and 30% nylon; it is the best compromise between glide (when ascending, to limit effort) and grip (when ascending to limit the slide back effect).

The skins are all fitted with a metal loop to fit most ski tips and an adjustable camlock on the back to fit the skin to the back of the ski.

CONSTRUCTION

Poplar wood construction with straight edges. 5 axis carbon reinforcement.

What is the camber?

When placing a ski on the ground, its points of contact are found near the nose and tail, whereas the middle of the ski (under the bindings) is slightly raised (this is the camber). The longer and higher the camber, the greater the edge grip and more responsive the ski. The lower the camber, the more forgiving the ski and the better the handling.

Camber

The Session 89 has a medium camber – good compromise between edge grip, leverage when exiting turns and handling on all types of snow.

What are ski sidecuts

The sidecuts have 3 measurements, the width of the nose (front of ski), the waist (middle of ski) and the tail (back of ski). The wider the nose, the easier it is to initiate turns. The slimmer the waist, the more edge grip the ski will have on hard snow. The wider the waist, the more comfortable and stable the ski is in changing snow conditions. The wider the tail, the more stable the ski is in turns. The slimmer the tail, the easier it is to side-slip.
