For climbing uphill, the heel of the binding is free. Climb with regular, rhythmic steps, and do not lift your skis off the snow. One skier leads, the others follow in the same track. The route should not be too steep uphill, but should follow a series of zigzags. At the end of each traverse, an uphill kick-turn brings the skier round. Make sure your downhill ski is firmly placed. Plant your poles behind you. Swing your uphill ski up and round, until it faces in the opposite direction. Place it on the snow and immediately transfer your weight to it. Bring the other foot round to join the ski already turned Set off in the new direction.
