2018-2019 Black Crows Corvus
We’ve now had two reviewers on Black Crows’ redesigned charger, the Corvus, and you can now check out our full review and Deep Dive comparisons.
Nicolas Vuignier & Jules Guarneri — “Heatseeker”
Nicolas Vuignier has one of the most creative minds in skiing. His new edit, “Heatseeker,” is what happens when you combine pyrotechnics with the skiing & riding of world-class athletes. In case you couldn’t guess by that description — yes, it’s really, really cool. Check it out here.
Arc’teryx Rush LT Pant
You know what you shouldn’t be thinking about when you’re skiing? Your pants. The new Arc’teryx Rush LT pants are easy to forget about, and we think they’re a great option for many backcountry and resort skiers and snowboarders.
Eddie Bauer BC EverTherm Down Jacket
The Eddie Bauer BC EverTherm Down Jacket is the lightest waterproof insulated jacket we’ve reviewed, and it just might be the lightest on the market. But how versatile is this ultralight piece, and who’d like it most? Check out our review.
Deep Dive: Moment Commander 108
We compare the Commander 108 to the Blizzard Cochise, ON3P Wrenegade 108, Prior Husume, Folsom Hammer, Nordica Enforcer 110, J Skis Metal, Fischer Ranger 102 FR, Head Kore 105, Faction Dictator 3.0, and Dynastar Legend X106.
