Clothing.—Use of a sufficient amount of clothing is important. In anticipation of a hard climb, it is often easy to remove too much clothing before it is necessary to do so, and chilling results. It is easier to keep a warm body from chilling than to warm a chilled body. Conserve heat. For instance, when nearing a pass that is apt to be cold and windy, put on a parka before reaching the top. The skier who waits until his ringers are freezing before he starts to put on his wind mitts may never get them on.
On the other hand, do not wear so much clothing that overheating results. This leads to perspiration, which brings about two undesirable conditions: (1) salt is lost through the pores, and the skier doesn't always remember to replace it in his food soon enough to prevent discomfort, or even mountain sickness; (2) clothing wet by perspiration becomes too good a conductor of heat, and, in the advent of low temperature, may speed the freezing of extremities.
A pace that is too rapid can similarly produce excessive sweating and the same two undesirable results, as well as tiring the skier.
Carrying skis.—Many tours start with a portage. Roads can be blocked for cars long before they are ski-able. There are several ways of carrying skis. It helps to vary the method of carrying.
1) Hand-grip fashion: Place the ski pole handle through the toe strap of the binding, and slide the pole backward until the tip of the ski enters the basket of the
pole. Grasp toe strap and pole shaft together when carrying the ski this way, to prevent the ski from escaping or the pole from slipping out of position. Carry skis with tips forward, so that pole points can be kept clear of others in the party.
2) With running surfaces tied together with toe straps,
skis may be carried over the shoulder, care being taken
that they always clear the man behind. The poles may be
carried in the other hand, tied to the skis, or carried over
the opposite shoulder. This method is most useful for
rough terrain or dense timber.
3) There are various but complicated means of tying
skis to the pack frame, or slipping them through shoulder
straps, thus freeing both hands. Or a line may be tied
to the skis, which are then towed along behind.
Trail breaking.—In soft snow, trail breaking is arduous unless the lead is frequently changed. Choose a suitable length of time, depending upon snow conditions, for each man to lead, and after which he should step aside and take place at the rear. Even if a leader prefers to think that he is an "iron man," he should not overdo his turn at breaking trail. His excess energy may be needed later.
