This is Giovanni's second time helping us with the Buyer's Guide, but it certainly won't be his last. With passion to burn and an almost maniacal attention for detail, when he's not ski touring or rock climbing (his true passion), Giovanni is one of Italy's best outdoor photographers, whether his subjects are in the snow or on a rock face. You can enjoy his work in the Touring, Light and Women's sections.

Products for mountaineers

The word ski mountaineering encompasses skiing and alpinism. The calling to head high, to reach summits, ridges and the most spectacular vantage points, and then don your skis, often inevitably requires you to use mountaineering equipment. In order to make the right choice, you need to understand how it works and know how to use it.
