Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE GEAR

A complete K2 touring kit

The rental comes with K2 touring skis, poles, skins and boots—everything you need to tour on alpine gear for the two‑day window.

THE STYLE

Self‑guided freedom

This is a self‑guided touring package that puts route choice, pace and objectives in your hands, ideal for skiers wanting to practice techniques and explore nearby terrain on their own timetable.

THE TIMING

Short, focused window

The rental is issued for a discrete 48‑hour period—two days of continuous access to the gear—making it a concise option for a weekend or compact training block.

What the day feels like

What the two‑day rental feels like

You collect a full touring kit and then head out on your own: skin, climb and descend according to conditions and appetite, with the gear available for a 48‑hour stretch. The sense is workmanlike and deliberate—time to practice transitions, read snow and move efficiently without guide‑led instruction.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits—and who should look elsewhere.

1
Independent backcountry skiersWell suited for experienced, self‑reliant skiers who want equipment for short, focused touring sessions without a guide.
2
Skill‑builders and weekend traineesA concise two‑day window is ideal for practicing transitions, uphill technique and short objective trips with consistent gear throughout.
3
Those who need complete safety kitsNot ideal unless you bring your own avalanche beacon, probe and shovel—those items are explicitly not included with the rental.
4
Guided‑trip seekersIf you want guided instruction, route leadership or included avalanche equipment, this purely self‑guided rental is not the match.
