When and why to bootpack in the backcountry, as told by Ross Berg

Backcountry skiing is gaining popularity rapidly. But, unfortunately, many people getting involved aren’t 100-percent informed when they’re out of bounds. With this in mind, our friends at G3 are in the midst of a video series focused around tips to help you navigate to, in and around the backcountry.

This installation hones in on the art of bootpacking. More specifically, the video explains when bootpacking is necessary over skinning and why. Listen up to the advice from Ross Berg, a guide for Atlus Mountain Guides in the Whistler, British Columbia area, and stay safe out there this season.
