Backcountry skiing and equipment see surge in interest as ski resorts limit crowds Haley Messenger © Provided by NBC News America’s backcountry, aka the road traditionally less traveled in the winter sports world, has soared to new heights during the pandemic along with a boom in equipment and accessory sales. While the industry has seen greater interest during the last decade due to innovations in equipment and technology, that interest has recently been amplified by skiers and snowboarders looking to get out of the house, avoid crowds at ski resorts and prepare for any potential lockdown restrictions that may cut their season short again.

If you thought 2020 was backward, wait till you see uphill skiing [Los Angeles Times]

If you thought 2020 was backward, wait till you see uphill skiing [Los Angeles Times] Uphill skiing is not an oxymoron. It’s long been the domain of ski mountaineers, who “skin” up mountain sides using specialized alpine touring or randonée equipment and then carve turns down backcountry slopes. This rigorous activity has been gaining popularity in recent years at alpine resorts and now among those who want to avoid ski lifts during these pandemic times. It’s expected to boom this winter, as COVID-19 continues to ravage the country, experts predict. Nick Sargent, president of Snowsports Industries America, said sales of uphill skiing gear for use in the backcountry took off last spring after resorts were shut down because of the pandemic. Sargent, himself an uphill skier, predicted sales of this type of gear will outpace last season’s significantly.
