Hiking 2000 Ridge

I bought me skins for my skis on Thursday, so Friday 13th was the day for testing them. Anna-Karin, Johan and Amund brought their touring equipment as well, while Andreas and Cornelia without touring bindings and skins tried hiking by foot.

Here's my skis with skins on and touring bindings ready for action:

The first 10-20 meters I struggled to hold my balance, but when I got the rhythm and balance I climbed like mountain goat.
It was quite windy, so we didn't climb all the way to the top, but stopped after about 1,5 hour.

Unfortunately the snow wasn't very good this day. The wind had created a layer of hard snow, but there were patches of niceness...
