you maintain balance.

creating a new trail. These keep you on top of The Snow.

is good to be able to fix these while on the mountain.

nourishment to help stand up to the efforts you are putting in
to the adventure.

experienced buddy who as well knows how to safely get through
the backcountry.

good to check out. Stay safe and Avoid frostbite and Hypothermia!
