Approach Skis w/ Silvretta Bindings

Built for fast ascents, big traverses, and long backcountry days, the Black Diamond Route 88 touring skis are designed for efficient movement through Alaska’s alpine terrain. Lightweight yet stable, they let you climb quickly, cover distance, and still enjoy a confident descent when the terrain turns technical.

With a poplar wood core and fiberglass construction, these skis balance playful energy with reliable stiffness, giving you control in variable snow conditions. An early-rise tip helps you stay afloat in soft snow, while camber underfoot provides stability on firm or icy sections.

Paired with classic Silvretta touring bindings, this setup is ideal for mountaineering approaches, winter traverses, and expedition-style travel where efficiency matters as much as downhill control all while in your mountaineering boots!
