SKINNING

Skinning is the act of skiing up a hill. If you want to skin, you have to have special bindings on your skis. The bindings are different than normal alpine ski bindings in that the heal releases and the toe portion pivots so that you move your foot up and down like you are hiking but the skis are still on your feet. The skins also clip to your skis so they don't fall off. Skinning is also called touring.
 
There is a section marked off on the west side of Champlain for skinning. Skinning is allowed during operating hours on our open days.

The above map indicates the skinning trail, marked in red and the yellow hiking trail. Access to the hiking trails is on the west side of the Champlain chair near Freeloader.

Please note for safety reasons, all dogs on the hiking trail must be on a leash.
