2013-2014 Anon M1 Goggle

October 27, 2021January 10, 2014 by Will Brown
We've spilled a lot of ink on the Anon M1 and M2 goggles, because they're that good. Here is an update on the M1, with more information on lens options.

2013-2014 Atomic Automatic

October 27, 2021November 18, 2013 by Jonathan Ellsworth
If you're looking for a very quick, versatile, easy pow ski, the Automatic deserves to be on your short list.

SmartWool NTS Mid 250 Pattern Crew

October 27, 2021April 5, 2013 by Jonathan Ellsworth
After more than a year of testing, the SmartWool NTS Mid 250 Pattern Crew baselayer has become an all-time favorite.

Sessions Drone Jacket & Clone Pant, Blister Gear Review

Sessions Drone Jacket and Clone Pants

September 29, 2021April 1, 2013 by Will Brown
The Sessions Drone jacket and Clone pants score well in terms of waterproofing and breathability, but there are some notable design shortcomings.

Patagonia Ultralight Down Hoody, Blister Gear Review

Patagonia Ultralight Down Hoody

October 27, 2021March 1, 2013 by Jonathan Ellsworth
The Patagonia Ultralight Down Hoody is an exceptional jacket: incredibly light, warm, comfortable, packable, durable, and good looking, too.

Bern Watts Carbon Fiber Helmet, Blister Gear Review

Bern Watts Carbon Fiber Helmet

October 27, 2021February 24, 2013 by Jason Hutchins
A new update on a classic look, the Bern Watts Carbon Fiber is a versatile, lightweight, all-season helmet.
Categories Apparel, Helmets, Recommended, Reviews

POC Receptor Backcountry MIPS Helmet

October 27, 2021February 15, 2013 by Ryan Caspar
The POC Receptor Backcountry helmet is heavy on safety features while still providing a comfortable, well-ventilated fit.
Categories Apparel, Helmets, Recommended, Reviews

Oakley Unification Pro Pants

January 29, 2013January 28, 2013 by Jason Hutchins
The fit, protection, and breathability of the Oakley Unification Pro Pants make it pretty hard to envision a better choice for backcountry touring.
Categories Apparel, Pants, Recommended, Reviews

Oakley Unification Pro Jacket

January 28, 2013January 27, 2013 by Jason Hutchins
A great choice if you earn your turns, the Oakley Unification Pro jacket delivers exceptional wind and water protection while maintaining a very high degree of breathability.

November 18, 2013January 18, 2013 by Jonathan Ellsworth

Update: 2012-2013 Down Skis Countdown 3

September 29, 2021January 16, 2013 by Will Brown
The Down Skis Countdown 3 is a "perfectly honed tool" for fresh snow and a particular riding style. See if it fits yours.

2012-2013 Black Diamond Megawatt, 188cm

October 4, 2021January 8, 2013 by Jonathan Ellsworth
We're currently spending time again on the Black Diamond Megawatt, a ski we loved in the open terrain of Las Leñas. Time now to determine how well it can handle trees and bumps....

POC Wrist Freeride Glove

October 18, 2021January 7, 2013 by Jonathan Ellsworth
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.
Categories Apparel, Featured, Gloves, Recommended, Reviews

Nordica Fire Arrow F1

September 29, 2021December 31, 2012 by Will Brown
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.
Categories Featured, Recommended, Reviews, Ski Boots

Lethal Descent 3L Eagle Jacket

August 18, 2014December 20, 2012 by Jonathan Ellsworth
The Lethal Descent 3L Eagle jacket is a legit, high-end, technical piece. It also happens to be the best value on the market.
Categories Apparel, Featured, Jackets, Recommended, Reviews

POC Cornea Goggle

October 27, 2021December 4, 2012 by Ryan Caspar
The POC Cornea goggle has a great combination of looks, feel, and performance characteristics. So how does it stack up against similar goggles?
Categories Apparel, Goggles, Recommended, Reviews

Oakley Airbrake Snow Goggle

October 27, 2021December 2, 2012 by Jason Hutchins
The most difficult conditions to ski in are not due to poor snow conditions, but poor light conditions. The Oakley Airbrake is highly recommended for anyone looking for easy lens-changing ability and outstanding optics.

Norrona Lofoten Gore-Tex Pro Jacket

September 29, 2021November 14, 2012 by Ryan Caspar
The Norrøna Lofoten Gore-Tex Pro Jacket was designed with “loaded minimalism” in mind, an oxymoron that's actually pretty apt.
Categories Apparel, Featured, Jackets, Recommended, Reviews

Dalbello Kr Two PRO

September 27, 2021November 4, 2012 by Jason Hutchins
The 2013 Dalbello Kr Two Pro boot has been significantly overhauled for 2013, giving the three-piece vs. overlap shell debate an exciting new talking point.
