G3 ZenOxide Ski Review

Overall Rating: 
7
Suggested Retail Price: 
725.00
10 Second Review: 
Super light fat ski for super long missions. But get a heavier, burlier ski for day trippin'

If you're planning shredding a rad line down Everest or Aconcagua this summer but can't stand skinny touring skis, G3's ZenOxide might be the answer. Their width helps keep the float in powder, while the core is so damn light that I often joke "hey has anyone seen my skis?", when really they're on my feet. Oh, so clever aren't I?

Great choice, easy to use, and durable so far.

Now that spring/summer is here and the only skiing you'll be doing is touring or ski mountaineering, it might be a good time at last for our G3 Alpinist review.

Ski Review - Rossignol Voodoo Pro BC 110 Review

10 Second Review: 
If you're a girl who hasn't tried this ski or one like it, you're missing out.

If you've been within a hundred miles of Whistler this winter, you've definitely seen Rossignol's flagship freeride ski, the S7. If you're a dude who likes skiing pow, odds are you've already been co-erced into trying them, and are now trying to buy them if you haven't already.

Gear Review - SWANY Women's Eversoft Gloves

Overall Rating: 
7
Suggested Retail Price: 
95.00
10 Second Review: 
Comfy, look good, and moisturizing can't be a bad thing, right?

These gloves are from the future or something. Or atleast that's what it sounds like when you read the packaging and instructions for the Swany Eversoft Gloves. Yes, gloves with instructions.

Ski Review - 2009/10 Salomon Czar

10 Second Review: 
Wicked all-mountain charging powder ski. Easy to ski, good fun.

The long and short of it is that this ski ROCKS, just like the rocker design its built with. God only knows why it took us this long to review them, we might have just been having too much fun skiing them.

Gear Review - Mountain Hardwear Beryllium Jacket

Overall Rating:

Suggested Retail Price:

10 Second Review: 
Great 3 ply Goretex Shell for backcountry and resort skiing

Fabric is amazing! Goretex ProShell is amazinlgy light, very waterproof and wicks like crazy! I've done a lot of boot packing and skinning in this jacket that would've had me sweating like crazy in other Goretex shells I've used.

Great spring ski gloves, but not a complete iPhone solution.

Now that it's closer to spring, we've finally had a chance to give our 180s womens gloves a shot.

Gear Review - Mountain Hardwear Bazuka Glove with Outdry

Overall Rating: 
10
Suggested Retail Price: 
200.00
10 Second Review: 
One of the best pairs of ski gloves money can buy. Serious.

Yep, our first 10 out of 10 gear review. Kinda like the Nadia Comaneci of the ski glove world, but, um, different. Simply put, the Mountain Hardwear Bazuka gloves are the best gloves I've ever had, by a long shot. They're also most likely the first gloves I'll keep for more than a season without using duct tape.

Black Diamond Megawatt Ski Review

10 Second Review: 
Super FAT ski for phat powder days and backcountry. Not an everyday ski.

If you're building a multi-ski quiver and are looking for the biggest and fattest pair you can find to slay some pow with, look no further. If you're like bashing gates and doing twinky turns, stop reading this review.

Dynafit Zzeus Boot Review: 2009-2010 TF-X

10 Second Review: 
Solid touring boot with interchanging soles - gets the job done well.

Yes, it finally happened.  After years of dissing all touring boots for being soft and wimpy, I finally broke down and got a pair. We had a lot of volcanoes to climb and ski, making a lighter and comfier set up start to look pretty appealing. Hell we even put less-baggy pants on! The weapon of choice...
