Footgear.—First choice for ski mountaineering is a ski boot with the rubber-cleated (Bramani-type) sole. The skier thus equipped can travel on any surface but glare ice without removing the shoes he skis with. This is a great advantage, for changing of footgear in low temperatures may lead to freezing of the feet. The sole should fit the foot, and not have a wide welt. Second choice is a well-nailed ski boot. Edge tricounis with tricouni studs in the middle of the sole and a tricouni heel provide an excellent nail combination and will not harm the binding other than to scratch the foot plate. The binding may have to be readjusted. Rubber in the center of the tricouni heel will minimize balling of snow. Edge nails should be under the edge of the foot, not beyond it. |
