My Skiing
I started Backcountry skiing in 2019. Before that, I Nordic skied competitively but had almost no downhill experience. I am currently getting into skimo racing and I really want to improve my fitness, skinning technique, and downhill skill/experience. I'm not sure if I am a true Type III skier because of my lack of experience but I love steep skiing.

I bought mine during the 2020/21 season so it must be a new addition. The skin pockets are awesome and the "gummy bear pocket" is surprisingly comfortable to use. The fabric seems like a nice weight for mid to warmer weather but could also easily accommodate much colder temps with the addition of a layer underneath. The suit comes with cutou...
