Skiing in the backcountry. Yes, it really /is/ that obvious... ;-)

Pete.

Which covers a lot of ground. Everything from off-piste XC skiing in
the woods, to extreme skiing, (tele or randonee), in the mountains.

Also tends to include the use of tele gear at groomed alpine resorts.

A lot more snow in the backcountry than in the groomed areas.
Happy trails,
