Best Backcountry Skis 2024. Each model is different, but they all will give you strong. Our gearjunkie gear testing team includes a range of skiers from intermediates to experts and professional guides who have spent decades exploring the backcountry and side country worldwide.

Our testers skinned at resorts, cruised uphill in gentle glades near crested butte, and climbed up and skied down peaks from the tetons to the rockies to find you the best. Check out our best backcountry and touring skis to help you arrive at the top of your line with energy to spare.
