2025 DPS Riders Camp, Uinta Mountains, Utah went off without a hitch and man, what turns were had. What a cool way to test skis, relish friendships and explore remote country all while skiing terrific snow! Huge thanks to all that came out to enjoy the fun. Multiple days of snowmobile accessed ski touring out of modern cabins with all the amenities is hard to beat. If it isn’t already on your radar for next season, it should be.

The goal of any skin track is to make as efficient of a route as possible up a mountainside. A consistent, mellow angle track is key for a group to ascend upward to their potential (most tracks are far too steep). When the track needs to turn or switch back, the lower angle the terrain is, the easier the turn is (a kick turn is unnecessary). Flatter terrain on the base of tree wells is a logical place to place a turn on a track. Often while in the trees, route finding can be like a billiards game, lining up angles to pockets. Try it, it’s the best way up! Just don’t fall in.
