Could you switch from being a resort skier to being a backcountry skier for $1,000.00? It’s possible. Some of the companies that help support this website have excellent deals on things like climbing skins and backcountry bindings. I’ll blog a few items below. If you need something and buy it by clicking the links we include here, you help support our work here at WildSnow.com, thanks in advance!
Need climbing skins? Sierra Trading Post has a bunch. They’ve also got avalanche rescue shovels and more.
Stay tuned, we’ll finish our budget shopping over the next few days.
