Do not underestimate the importance of finding the perfect backcountry boot. SCARPA'S Gea and Maestrale boots (women's and men's, respectively) are medium in width and volume, affording beginners stability and flexibility.

There are backcountry skiers who have a quiver of skis, and there are backcountry skiers who stick to the VOELKL VTA 98 skis.
