Snow camping with a helping hand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Access to more remote backcountry ski terrain; a quick escape from the day-to-day treadmill of life; positioning for one of my biggest passions, night sky photography; and just for the sheer fun of it, are all reasons I love snow camping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the challenge of managing the cold is part of the experience, this past season I upped my winter camping game by adding a titanium wood-burning stove to a tarp tent as my preferred winter camping set-up for warm and cozy nights. Being warm before sleep is a game-changer when it comes to moving the needle from survival to enjoyment in the cold. As are a few of the unique Voile products that elevate my snow camping experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the right skis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With a heavy overnight pack, I choose snow camping locations with relatively mellow access. Think long, low-angle touring and rolling terrain versus any steep inclines. For these kinds of routes, my go-to ski is the extremely versatile and ultra-lightweight, Voile Hypervector BC<\/a>. A 96-waist (177-length) full-size alpine ski but with “fish scale” traction-pattern bases. The lightness of the skis without skins and the efficiency of the kick and the glide make travel with a heavy pack much more pleasurable as I move over the snow on the way to camp. <\/p>\n\n\n
