Splittie of the Week | TouringTip La Rossa

Gear of the Week | Binoculars
A small pair of binoculars in your backpack may seem like unnecessary burden at first. But anyone who is out and about in open terrain knows that good decisions often start with a better view. Whether it's about assessing distant slopes, observing other skiers or simply quietly observing the romance of the summit. Handy mini binoculars can do surprisingly much and weigh almost nothing.
