Trip Report: Rocky Point, Alta
Over two feet of snow fell at Alta Ski Area this past week, so we decided to go hit up some of Alta's famous side country. (It was very, very good.)
2012-2013 MOMENT Governor
The Moment Governor is a very stable pow ski that shines in variable conditions. In short, it's a serious ski that isn't as punishing as it looks.
Moment Boville Pant
Slim is in around the park, so we headed there to check out Moment's slim-fitting pant, the Boville.
2012-2013 Venture Odin
The Venture Odin is a big-mountain board that's fast, forgiving, and fun, and won’t punish riders who are looking to advance.
Moment Bantam Jacket and Pants
The Moment Bantam jacket and pants are comfortable, perform well for the price, and have a unique look unlike anything we've seen before.
The North Face Fargo Cargo Pants
After more than 175 days of skiing, The North Face Fargo Cargo pants have proven to be a great value: comfortable, durable—and affordable.
2018-2019 Kingswood Skis SMB
The Kingswood Skis SMB is not only one of the most beautifully built skis we've seen, it's an extremely capable pow ski that holds its own when the going gets variable.
Mammut Vail Pant
The Mammut Vail pant offers well-executed features, a flattering fit, and great color & sizing options.
Five Ten Dragon
The Five Ten Dragon is an aggressive shoe designed to excel on high-level boulder problems. It delivers, and then some.
Arc’teryx Sarissa Jacket
Thanks to its streamlined insulation, great features, and durability, the Arc'teryx Sarissa jacket might just have solved the age-old layering dilemma for those who run cold.
Trip Report: Taos – January ’13
We've been out skiing and riding around Taos this week, testing gear and playing off Highline Ridge. Figured we'd share some of Ryan Heffernan's photos.
POC Wrist Freeride Glove
The POC Wrist Freeride is a very nice, well constructed glove. If there is another glove in this category that outperforms it, we aren't sure what it is.
Update: 2015-2016 Salomon Rocker2 108
With more time on the Salomon Rocker2 108, Will Brown is now asking the question, "Best One-Ski Quiver Ever?"
2013-2014 Blizzard Cochise, 193cm
185cm Blizzard Cochise vs. 193cm Cochise: Should you size up? Is the 193 still a relatively easy charger, or more of a missile? Jonathan Ellsworth and Will Brown weigh in.
2018-2019 MOMENT Deathwish, 184cm
The new MOMENT Deathwish is a lot less terrifying than either its name or its unorthodox design would suggest. One thing's certain: you'll want to take a peek at this oddity that looks far stranger than it behaves.
Nordica Fire Arrow F1
The Nordica Fire Arrow F1 nicely optimizes lateral stability and on-edge feedback, but caters to a different sort of skier than other popular 3-piece boots do.
2014-2015 Line Sir Francis Bacon
The Line Sir Francis Bacon is a really good ski for just about everything, from groomers to hand drags. And you know what's really fun? Being on a ski that's good at just about everything.
Deeluxe ID Boot
The Deeluxe ID is a versatile, lightweight boot that can both charge and jib, and deserves a look from serious riders.
2nd Look: 2015-2016 Salomon Rocker2 108
"No all-mountain ski will shine in every discipline, but the degree to which the 108 does so well in each area—even some real jibbing—and can transition from one to the other so smoothly and easily—is really remarkable."
