Why did you go up in ski boots instead of chucking some normal boots on and then swapping for ski boots at the top if skins weren’t an option? Regardless, your channel is beautiful and I hope you keep documenting your adventures this way.
@farmersdaughter9478 I seriously considered wearing boots and switching as you suggested, but I chose not to for several reasons. I didn’t want to deal with the weight of ski boots in my bag. I was concerned that my feet would get soaked in hiking boots. My ski boots have a much larger surface area, reducing the chance of breaking through the snow. I wanted the flexibility to quickly put on skis and change position. Lastly, my boots are touring boots with a switch on the back, making them very comfortable and almost indistinguishable from regular hiking boots. Glad you’re enjoying the content and there’s lots more to come :)
