How do I transition between walk and ski mode?

The process varies by model but generally follows this sequence: Walk-to-ski mode: (1) Remove skins, (2) Rotate the heel piece to the ski position (pins facing down), (3) Step into the toe piece first by aligning the pins with boot fittings and pressing down, (4) Step down into the heel piece until it clicks. Ski-to-walk mode: (1) Step out of the heel piece by pressing down and rotating, (2) Step out of the toe piece by twisting laterally, (3) Rotate the heel to walk mode, (4) Apply skins. Practice this sequence in a controlled environment before heading into the backcountry.
