Black Diamond Guide Glove

Published by under Gear,Reviews

These gloves rock. They remind me of those old Reusch gloves that were so bomber. However these gloves have some features that take it to the next level. The feature I love the most is the soft fabric on the thumb perfect for nose wipes in the cold. They also have a removable liner for spring [...]

Scarpa Maestrale RS Ski Boot Review

Published by under Gear,Reviews

Well let’s just start this review off with the fact that I really like these boots. They ski amazingly well and can drive the 122mm underfoot Bomb Squad from Ski Logik that I’ve been skiing on harder lines. These boots have a very consistent flex pattern that doesn’t buckle under the pressure of turning such [...]

Ski Logik Bombsquad 183

Published by under Gear,Reviews

Ski Logik Bombsquad 183 Review At the end of last season I got a pair of these skis. I mounted them .5cm back of boot center with Marker Tour bindings. I don’t really jump off a lot of stuff anymore so the Tour binding seemed like the way to go. I skied them a few [...]

Black Diamond Traverse Ski Poles

Published by under Gear,Reviews

After going a few months with mismatched poles and even using a whippet when I really didn’t need to I broke down and got myself a pair of Traverse Ski Poles from Black Diamond. These are similar to the flick-lock poles that I’ve used for years and I was intrigued by the new locking mechanism. [...]

CamelBak H.A.W.G. NV Mountainbiking Pack

Published by under Gear,Reviews

Last October I got this pack for our trip to Utah. We were planning to do the White Rim in a day. At about 100 miles, I knew I needed a larger pack to carry all that water. I also needed a pack that was large enough to carry everything that I would need for [...]

Published by under Gear,Reviews

With the recent demise of my Dakine Poacher, I went looking for a pack. I tried on a few and and this is the one I chose. I picked this one mainly because of size and fit. Its about the same size as the Poacher. I tend to carry a lot of camera gear on [...]

Ski Logik Howitzer 186 Ski Review

Published by under Gear

Well I’ve been skiing on these for about 2 months now. I feel like I’ve gotten them in the bulk of conditions out there. I got these skis for testing from Ski Logik before I left for California last spring. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get a mount done on my trip. I got the [...]

SkiLogik Rave 185 Ski Review

Published by under Gear,Reviews

In the interest of being upfront and honest I need to mention that these skis were given to me by SkiLogik as I am now skiing for them. So far I’ve skied 9 days on them and climbed 27,000 vert. I’ve had them out in powder, corn, hard slab and sastrugi. A few of my [...]

Denver Boot Fitting: The Custom Foot

Published by under Gear,Reviews

Well as some of you may have read I bought a pair of Dynafit Titans a few months ago. Some of you may not know that I’ve had a few accidents in my day. Back in ’95 I broke my left leg. It was a tibia/fibula spiral fracture. A couple years later I broke it [...]
