Frozen crusted snow: "Skare," a cross between a true wax and a klister, is effective. Icing.—One of the most trying conditions the tourer encounters occurs when fresh powder snow begins to melt on the surface but is below freezing underneath. The wet snow is tramped down and freezes to the skis in the cold below. The same may occur when he goes from warm sunshine into a cold forest. When such conditions can be foreseen, it is wise to rely on sealskins for the ascent rather than climbing wax. |
