Free ski mountaineering is not a new marketing word. It is the quintessence in the history of alpinism. Seasoned mountain sports people want a way to live their passion even during the cold winter months. They sound out possible ascent routes and then try out next-to impossible ski descents. „Climb to ski“ is the simple and yet extremely challenging principle which has become the king discipline of winter mountain sports. Upwards using ice pick, crampons, and rope safety systems, through snow crust, ice and rock. Downwards through untouched snow across high altitude terrain, through narrow couloirs and steep flanks. Borne atop of boards that mean all the world on days like this. Glen more recently brought the free ski mountaineering spirit to the Indian Himalayas in 2006, with descents of up to 60° on steep, compacted snow flanks. Glen: Welcome to the team.
