The ski-mountaineering test is a measure of the ability required for safe ski mountaineering. This manual comprises as much of the technique of the art as can be briefly explained by the printed page. To indicate the parts of the technique which are most important to requirements of the test, the test itself, and the suggested interpretation, are given here. They may serve as an informal examination on the manual for those who have no opportunity to take a formal test. It is suggested that the parts of a formal test not be taken too soon after instruction. For it is not the purpose of the test, or of its detailed interpretation, to encourage memorizing. It is intended, rather, to bring out the resourcefulness and to weigh the judgment inherent in every skier, and vital to the meeting of frequent challenges to ingenuity that ski mountaineering so happily provides. |
