If packing can be completed well before the trip is to start—at home or in a lodge—much time will be saved. When camp is broken, every skier should pack up quickly. The morning hours are often best for travel. Loads should be distributed equitably throughout the party, at least at the start. A strong member should not endeavor to carry a double load. His strength may be a valuable source of reserve energy should emergency arise. Checking and adjusting equipment.—Before starting, check poles to see that basket attachment is secure, steel edges to see that all screws are tight, toe irons to see that they are secure at the proper angle. Screws that tend to work loose too readily should be shimmed, with a piece of match stick, paper, or substitute. |
