Being able to transition efficiently and without removing skis can be critical on glaciers, steep exposed terrain, or deep powder.

Cool tips - don't forget to unlock your toes before the descent :)

for a minute I thought that you tele-d. Still good advice.

Great video Doug...thanks for posting. Pro tip: On windy summits, it can be easier and more manageable to fold skins into quarters rather than into halfs.

I hope you will do more informational BC videos. Thanks.

Great video. Practiced this yesterday and after a few laps I was good to go! Curious if you find this hard on the edges of your skins though?

Great tips here Doug, too old and not limber enough for some of the Yoga moves 😂, but learned a few new things, especially sequences and timing. I use your 2nd tip on the Pomoca clips all the time, really easy to just slide them up the side then to the tail. Thanks again!
