Nick DeVore

Catch one of Nick DeVore’s film sequences and you’ll get an idea of what all the hype is about. DeVore quite simply tears mountains apart… and he’s a telemarker. Nick is happy to reign as one of the smoothest tele-gurus on the planet, and the only freeheeler to ever make the finals on the Snowbird segment of the IFSA tour. When he’s not scoring first descents on Denali, Señor DeVore knits hats for his own company, Sensei Stitches, pulls down on Thai limestone, and lives the clean, green life of a dedicated yogi. Like his sponsors Cloudveil and Black Diamond, we’re honored to have Nick skiing for our team.

Black Diamond O1 Telemark Ski Binding

Black Diamond O1 Telemark Ski Binding
If I had to use another tele binding I would go back to alpine skiing, straight up!! 11-21-07
nick devore: rank
The 01 is not only the best touring binding providing a stable foundation and zero resistance allowing me to make longer strides using less energy and making more turns, but it is also the beefiest and stiffest binding for lapping the resort. I use the ridiculously stiff cartridges which are strategically placed underfoot and out of the way, and the performance is unbeatable, going up and down. They have taken me up and down Denali a few times, up and down 24 of Colorado's 14ers, through big mountain comps, and off cliffs and I have yet to have any problems.

Black Diamond Kilowatt Telemark Ski

Black Diamond Kilowatt Telemark Ski
THE KILOWATTS ARE MY ALL ROUND SKI OF CHOICE! 11-21-07
nick devore: rank
The kilowatts are my all round ski of choice, they are stiff and responsive and can handle high speeds as well as tight trees or moguls, they kill it in the deep pow and on ice or groomers. They proved worthy on Denali's Messner Couloir! Light enough for touring and burly enough for tearing apart the resort.

I love skins, you can just climb up anything and then ski down, what a brilliant invention. The Black Diamond Ascension Nylon STS Skins are the best I have used. They are light and durable and very quick and easy to use. The STS clip allows for super easy use and can easily accommodate a variety of sizes and shapes without much hassle.

Black Diamond Covert with Avalung Winter Pack

Black Diamond Covert with Avalung Winter Pack
Brilliant 11-21-07
nick devore: rank
Integrating the Avalung into packs makes things so much easier and safer. Although the Avalung can't save you from being caught in an avalanche it increases chances of survival once buried, why not have one? I no longer have to take off everything just to shed a layer. Aside form the Avalung, the covert pack is awesome, the outer compartment holds my shovel and probe and keeps them separate from my lunch and other stuff. It holds skis really well for booting and fits snug to my back for shredding and jumping off stuff.

Pro-tec IPS Hip Pads

Pro-tec IPS Hip Pads
safe and warm 11-21-07
nick devore: rank
The Pro Tech hip pads keep me warm and protected from rocks or hard snow. They provide a great cushion for riding chairs on snowy days and protect the bum from the classic tele butt check. I sowed a back brace onto them for the ultimate set up.
