For a powder skiing trip, the 9V guides use and recommend backcountry skis from 95 mm to 120 mm wide, depending on your size, weight, fitness. Fitted with pin-type touring bindings featuring ski brakes, these skis are fairly light, allowing you to ski with ease and save your legs in all types of snow. We recommend 4-hook freerando boots with 60° of travel.
Find your level
The purpose of this chart is to determine your technical and physical level. When you register, we will discuss your experience on skis, with guides, your equipment and your physical condition in order to determine your skills and expectations as accurately as possible. You can trust us to harmonize the groups because there is nothing worse for you and the guides than a group with different levels.
Describe your level and we will put you in the right group. For each destination we can adapt the itineraries according to the levels of the groups.
