Dude! It's pretty straight forward. It's only the first season I've been doing the Randonee thing and it has been really awesome. I will never use snowshoes again if I can help it, but I could see where if there was a lot of exposed brush, rocks, it could be pretty lame. I've been going out pretty consistantly for the last month and the only things that seem to give me problems is judging how steep of a slope I can skin up and doing kick turns without falling over.
I've figured a good technique for the kick turns and have been learning about the different slopes and what is the maximum steepness they'll work on. I would think it would be very dependant on the thickness of the skin and ski though along with your weight for determining that maximum, so it is probably varies from person to person.
Trying to get something together to go out this weekend and do an overnighter.
We on for dry tooling this week?
