2020 Marker Kingpin 13 Gear Review The 2020 Marker Kingpin does it all. It the no-brainer choice when it comes to picking one binding to bridge the gap between resort skiing and backcountry laps. It’s a durable binding meant to charge hard even on the most hardpack of days, yet will still bring stability and stoke when riding soft powder. I try to stay away from […] Gear Review Martin Kuprianowicz | January 10, 2020 1 Comment
Gear Review: Arc’teryx Cerium LT Hoody: Amazing Weight-to-Warmth Ratio The 2020 Cerium LT Hoody by Arc’teryx is top of its class in terms of what gear you want to be wearing out in the mountains. The streamlined, lightweight, down hoody filled with 850 white goose down excels as a backcountry mid-layer or standalone jacket in cool, dry conditions.

Ode to a Great Ski Boot | Scarpa Freedom RS 130 The Scarpa Freedom RS 130 is one of the best ski boots on the market. Period. End of story. I’ve been in this boot for the last 2.5-3 years and it has been one of the best inbounds and out-of-bounds (on-piste/off-piste) boots I’ve ever skied in. Below are some of the reasons why I believe the Scarpa Freedom RS 130 is […] Gear Review Greg Obernesser | September 21, 2018 0 Comments
Gear Review: Maxxis Forekaster. My New Favorite Tires I’m signed up for a mountain bike race later this fall that has a history of being quite muddy. I’m flying there, only bringing one set of wheels, and don’t want to worry about changing tires at the last minute. I bought a pair of Maxxis Forekaster 29 x 2.35″ tires on sale over Labor Day and so far I’m very impressed. […] Gear Review Mike Lavery | September 14, 2018 0 Comments
