Touring skis have a special binding, which allows the movement of the heel, as you walk uphill. You can fix it for downhill skiing. The ski-skins on the skis are necessary for the ascent. They prevent slipping back of the skis when you go up the mountain. Before you go downhill you have to remove them.
