No friends on a powder day, right?

no, ain't no skiing here, just a couple of drag lifts, they dropped in for lunch, that's all filmed at Verbier which is where everyone should really go.
Great Film!
Not sure who filmed it, but Guido Perrini has done a lot of stuff with the Falquet brothers.
In my early days in Verbier he was a ski bum with a 16mm camera, these days he makes some awesome movies.

I was planning to go to Tignes at the start of March, maybe its time to try somewhere new )
I did and then watched it again. Would that be the sort of set up suitable for what I want?
Hi Bandit, thanks for that, I will certainly do some investigation while I am away. I really think its the way for us. We are not ones for up the lifts, down the slopes, then repeat. We want to get up under our own steam, have a walk round, come down in our time. We are certainly non conformist skiers.

Rose, did you see the footage of touring bindings and skins in use in the early part of the film?
I imagine it's quite hard to get to be that good :D

Yes, along with a set of skins, this sort of setup would take you where you want to go. Here is a link to the Fritschi site.

On the r/h side under Technologies, most of the headings lead to little moving demos of the features. Many of the features are common to all makes of touring bindings.

You'll may find in Finland they go for Nordic touring more than alpine touring, it's more like cross country with slightly more robust kit.
