Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer Hooded Down Jacket Review

Overall Rating: 
8
Suggested Retail Price: 
300.00
10 Second Review: 
So light you might as well bring it everywhere!

If this jacket got any lighter it would start floating in the air. That'd be a kick-ass party trick at the top of a peak, but you can imagine how many mountaineers would be pouting like a little kid who've lost their baloon when that brand new down jacket starts floating away into the stratosphere.

Cabin Fever - Go big, then go small

Ski hard all day, right to your doorstep. Have a ski-in, ski-out condo that's a fraction of the size, for a fraction of the price.

Ever since the secura-fix binding adaptor made it’s launch in the early 90’s, there has been push for heavier gear that may make you sweat more on the way up, but is absolutely bomber for the ride down. Since then the ski world has developed the 16 din binding and 130 flex boot that both have a walk mode.

Suggested Retail Price:

10 Second Review: 
Good Pow Ski + All-Around Shre Sticks

Rocker2 108 was a mighty popular ski this winter, and still worth reviewing cause it's coming back for 2014 but with a new graphic (see our 2014 Salomon Sneak Peek video). After a few good days on'em, its easy to tell why they were so popular. The skis boast the same general shape and camber as the Rocker 122, but in a 'smaller package'.

Salomon Quest & Rocker2 Series Skis - 2014 Preview

Hitting up the Salomon Freeski booth at SIA is always a highlight, and not just because I left with some new goggles! This year was no exception, revealing lots of goodies for skiers to look forward to for 2013/14.

G3 Bonesaw Vs Chainsaw - Fight!

Overall Rating:

Suggested Retail Price: 
59.95
10 Second Review: 
Substantial stainless steel saw slays snow and slices stubborn surface hoar, so shredders can ski safely

The G3 Bonesaw is nearing its 10-year anniversary of being known as the standard in a reliable snowsaw. With a 35 cm cutting surface and a 47 cm overall length, it’s big enough to cut a 30x30 column (with help from increment measurements on the blade), but still small enough to fit into almost any pack.
