This blog explains why modern skis are the shape they are.
We’ll start from the basics and build from there. We’ll look at the skis from the top, the plan view, and then from the side, and then see what to look for when choosing a ski for the type of skiing you'll be doing. 

Alpine touring boots can be divided into three categories depending what style of ski touring you'll be doing.
RACE boots are very light, extremely expensive, moderately uncomfortable and often pretty fragile!!

Ski touring is the most exhilarating way to travel in the mountains in the winter, but deciding which gear you need when starting can be daunting. The gear is quite geeky, there's lots of choice, and exactly how you'd like to tour determines the type of skis, boots and bindings that will be best

Marker have been busy developing new technologies showcased in their new models and improvements to existing bindings for winter 20/21.

Pierre at The M Equipment has updated the design of the binding springbox so that this winter's Meidjo 2.1 bindings now have a fully automatic step-in function. Getting into the bindings is quick and easy.
