SKI IGNORANT
I come from Maryland, as a consequence I know little about sking. I know down-hill but nothing else. About 6 years ago, in highschool, I went downhilling, locally in PA; Four years later I would realize that my first discouraging ski outing was like tring to ski on Neve to Boiler plate on the slopes of Mt. Washington.
So I have been curious when I see ski aproachers when I go to the Huntington Ravine and other remote destinations for climbing. They seem to move much faster. Please tell me all you can about the ways to approach this skill and the different techniques and benifets.
This is alot to ask so thanks!
