What is "backcountry skiing"?
Backcountry skiing is a type of skiing that takes place outside of the marked trails or ski resorts, typically in remote, untouched areas. Skiers navigate natural terrain, such as forests, open slopes, and mountains, often relying on their own strength to move uphill using special equipment that helps grip the snow. The sport offers a more adventurous and quieter experience compared to resort skiing, but it also requires good knowledge of safety, navigation, and avalanche risks. Backcountry skiing demands skill, endurance, and preparation for unpredictable conditions.
Example
Backcountry skiing offers untouched powder snow.
He loves the adventure of backcountry skiing.
Backcountry skiing can be physically demanding.
