for the coming ski touring winter:
The SPORT 2000 equipment tips

For many ski tourers, making their first turns on a snow-covered slope is the definition of a successful ski tour. However, you shouldn't head out into the great outdoors alone without good preparation: You should have knowledge of avalanche awareness, first aid and the weather, and preferably also an experienced guide. In addition to all these aspects, equipment is also an important factor when ski touring. We have summarised the best equipment tips for the coming ski touring winter for you.

High feelings in deep snow: Salomon MTN 86 Carbon

The Salomon MTN 86 Carbon is the ideal companion for your ski tour. With a width of 86 mm and a weight of 1.1 kg, the ski offers extreme lightness for effortless ascents and at the same time reliable grip for steep descents, even on hard snow. The continuous wood core and a carbon-reinforced construction guarantee both reliable stability and high manoeuvrability. The camber profile and alpine shape enable fast and steep descents. The continuous sandwich sidewalls guarantee good directional stability and smooth snow contact.

A Titanal insert under the binding ensures maximum edge grip on hard snow and optimum power transmission. Innovative technologies such as the Cork Damplifier in the tip of the ski offer impressive vibration absorption and the highest possible level of damping with minimum weight. The MTN ski also focuses on sustainability - with 30 % recycled topsheet materials and a 100 % recycled base. The model is also available specifically for women as the MTN 86 W Carbon. This touring ski is the symbiosis of optimum performance and environmentally conscious innovation that will inspire ski tourers in search of unforgettable mountain adventures.

The shoe for the perfect balance: La Sportiva Vanguard

The La Sportiva Vanguard offers the ideal balance between comfort and technique, both on the ascent and the descent. A lightweight shoe with a high level of comfort and freedom of movement for effortless ascents. Robustness and reactivity characterise it on the descent. The Vanguard not only offers top performance, but also environmental awareness. The use of Pebax® Bio-Based New 1100 material shows that sustainability and performance do not have to be mutually exclusive. The use of innovative material combinations, including carbon and glass fibres, ensures optimum power transmission, abrasion resistance and exceptional lightness.

The unique V-SHAPE™ shaft and the intuitive fastening system allow great freedom of movement and effortless donning and doffing. With a wide cut, the boot offers a comfortable fit, while the Ultralon® liner and Vibram® V-Lug sole provide durability and grip. The foldable ski/walk mechanism on the back with 63° rotation rounds off the overall technical package. Weighing just 1,490 g (men) and 1,325 g (women), the Vanguard sets new standards in terms of lightness.
