Hy, can you post me one or more free site that discuss about ski
mountainereeng materials and other whit techincal advice and support.
I'll must buy somethings but i want be sure about it.

My interest a ski (freeride, all-mountain ecc...), apparel,accessories
ecc...

I have cross-posted this to rec.skiing.backcountry, which is more
likely to get the specific advice you seek.

First questions would be what type of terrain you plan to do, your
experience, and if you have a leaning towards telemark-type freeheel
backcountry ski gear, or alpine-type randonee ski gear.

Ski mountaineering covers a variety of things.

There are also a host of other skills needed to be doing this safely
outside the bounds of an organized ski resort, including general
winter hiking skills, heat and energy management with clothing and
food, avalanche awareness, navigation,etc.

A website may not teach you everything you need.

Happy trails,
