		<description><![CDATA[The Black Diamond Sabretooth Crampons are an excellent crampon choice for winter climbing and hiking. I recently used the Sabretooth Clip on a hike in the White Mountains of New Hampshire to climb Mount Lafayette. (elevation 5,260 ft.) The Sabretooth Clip uses a strap across the forefoot and a bail (similar to an alpine binding) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since shaped skis have become the norm in alpine gear, it&#8217;s become common to see skiers going down the hill in a carved turn pretty much everywhere. To keep up the times, you can improve your carving through effective edging: A carve is typically considered a parallel turn where the arc of the skis is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For hiking in snow, snowshoes are usually the tool of choice. Climbing in deep snow or ice? Crampons will do the job. But what do you wear for traction when there&#8217;s icy conditions without underlying snow? A company called 32 NORTH INC. just down the road from the Snowskills.net headquarters produces several awesome products for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s probably the oldest skiing tip in the book; stay forward! Having trouble with control? Stay forward! Want to start parallel skiing? Stay forward! Want to ski faster? Stay forward! Fine, got it; can do it great in the living room. But just how does one stay forward on slick, uneven, steep snow at speed? [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Skiing on hard snow conditions requires that you modify your movements to compensate for the slicker surface under foot. It&#8217;s like being under a magnifying glass; any small loss of balance is signaled by a much larger movement by an arm, leg, or torso as you try to regain control. You don&#8217;t have to always [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An earlier post discussed the importance of using hip angulation to create more effective edging on ice or hard snow. The use of hip angulation in the last half of the turn will improve your edge grip, especially in a longer turn. You can apply that hip angulation more efficiently if you think about your [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Skiing in icy conditions doesn&#8217;t require MORE edging, it requires MORE EFFECTIVE edging. In hard snow conditions, using knee angulation alone may not be enough to give you a confident grip. And using more angulation may be self-defeating as higher edge angles require a higher balance and that&#8217;s going to be difficult on harder snow. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Frozen granular, hardpack, scraped off, and bulletproof are just a few of the terms I&#8217;ve heard used for hard snow conditions. For the sake of brevity, let&#8217;s cut through it all and agree that ICE is a pretty good word for conditions on those days where the snow just doesn&#8217;t have much &#8216;give&#8217; to it.
