There is no surer sign that ski touring is becoming mainstream. Decathlon is selling its own brand & we’ve been testing them out. Are they any good & why walk uphill in the first place?
Location: Combloux, France.
Conditions: Powder snow.
Event: Testing Decathlon’s Wedze brand of touring skis.
So, what’s it all about?

So what about the basic, entry level touring ski?
And what were they like out on snow?
So, how does the touring malarky all work?
And what about the medium range mountain touring ones?
And the fat off piste ones?

It is the type of food you take with you when heading into the backcountry after all.

It’s hungry work testing skis.
Decathlon sells four different types, ranging in price from £399.99 to £629.99.
