Recommended Gear for the Trail
Choose equipment and clothing that is appropriate for your outing. Portions of the CT that follow groomed ski touring center trails or snowmobile trails can be comfortably skied with regular touring skis and boots. Most other sections are best skied with wider, metal-edged, back-country skis. For these sections you should have boots, bindings, and poles designed for back-country terrain. For long, steep climbs or descents you will probably want climbing skins even if you have wax-less skis. These sections are listed as “Advanced Intermediate” or “Expert”. An easy, fun tour can turn into an ordeal when your equipment breaks. Be sure your equipment is in good working order before you start your tour. Skins may be useful on any section but are recommended for all sections labeled “advanced intermediate” or “advanced”.
You will need to bring a pack to carry your extra clothing including a wind breaker, fleece, mittens, and a hat; lunch and snacks; water; head lamp or flashlight; and extra gloves. Be prepared to keep warm even if you must stop for an extended period of time. We will stop for water and food often as each stop will be brief. Avoid cotton clothing as you will not be warm and dry. Visit our Gear for the Trail page for more information.
