Ski Mountaineering
Type: Concept
As of November 2026, Ski Mountaineering has been mentioned in one podcast episode on Pardon My Take (Feb 2026). Presented as a new Olympic sport; explained as climbing uphill on skis before descending, with discussion of formats and why it 'sucks' (in a respectful way).
Ski mountaineering is a skiing discipline that involves climbing mountains either on skis or carrying them, depending on the steepness of the ascent, and then descending on skis. There are two major categories of equipment used: free-heel telemark skis and skis based on alpine skis, where the heel is free for ascents, but is fixed during descent. The discipline may be practiced recreationally or as a competitive sport.
