G3's Highball Skis - Stable 'n Smooth
Finally got a chance to post this video ski touring with the G3 Highballs. Another in our series of Totally Biased Gear Reviews. Good times indeed. Super stable, so much that I probably didn't need to order 190s to lug around with my touring boots. » Read More »
Black Diamond Outlaw Pack Review - As told by a filthy knuckledragger
Call it fate, fortune or whatever you will, but my Black Diamond Outlaw Backpack houses a six pack of beer like an absolute champ. It’s perfect, because nothing facilitates good decision making like crushing a casual sixer of ale on the slopes.

The Salomon Freeski booth was definitely one of the highlights of SIA 2012. For one, Salomon knows how to have a good time. So much that Ryan Weese had almost lost is voice, but still agreed to give me a video tour of the new gear.

Gear Review: First Ascent Heyburn 2.0 Jacket
When I think of Eddie Bauer, I think of a catalogue full of men in their early forties with five o’clock shadows paddling canoes, wearing Khakis and flannel shirts. But, as of recent, the company has put together a ski team including Lindsay Dyer and the Crist Brothers.
Funk Skis - Handmade in Pemberton, BC
Hand built with passion and care in the sea to sky corridor, Funk Skis may seem like a new kid on the block for boutique skis but founder and builder Greg Funk has been building skis for years.
