Auftriib

Anyone who has ever walked up behind someone who has used Auftriib can hardly do without these "gamechangers". What am I talking about? Polypropylene plates that you strap under your ski boots (in conjunction with crampons) to move forwards or upwards in couloirs or any kind of deep snow. As the name suggests, they give you buoyancy and make your bootpack a lot easier in deep snow.
