Dynafit Titan TF-X Ski Boot - Men's

January 7, 2011

What is the cuff height compared to a typical alpine boot? My last boot was the lange banshee pro, so BC techs, if you can use that as a benchmark it would be primo.

DAKINE Scout Short Glove - Men's

DAKINE Scout Short Glove - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 December 17, 2010

These are the most solid performance gloves I've ever had, goggle wipe and all. Warm enough for mid winter in the rocky mountain backcountry. Short cuff is the way to be, and keep it under $50: win, win, win

Black Diamond Megawatt Ski

Rating for this product: 4 February 10, 2010

I have skied these in all sorts of conditions now and have them mounted with dukes (3cm forward) for skinning.
The forward mount is CRITICAL!!! This allows you to have a much more versatile ski (and I had them factory suggested mounted at first). Some people say that you can go back because of the huge rocker tip and that is ski contact you don't have. WRONG - when you are in the conditions these are made for you are using the rockered length. I can maneuver so much better in tight spots and in cruddy/hard snow because of this, whether it's in a tight couliour or trees. I was also having trouble backslapping landings with the 'suggested' mount. Now that I'm just a bit more forward I am stomping much more and it feels ROCK STAR. Bottom line: I can ski these anywhere! However, I also contend that it is the skier who can ski anywhere, but these sticks can keep up.
I do not mind the weight for skinning with dukes/glide lite BD skins. It's worth the bomber factor for me and I know it's only making me stronger on the way up. The rocker on the way up has not been a problem yet. The wide platform gives you more surface area to grip slick tracks. My only problem skinning comes up when people use a skin track to ski down and make it slant down the fall line, then I have to step to the side and have at least one ski making a new flat track.
My only beef about these skis is that I believe the base material is softer than almost any ski I've ever owned. Thank goodness I have a p-tex gun. But I also need to buy some base patch material now too...

THE ski glove

DAKINE Scout Short Glove - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 February 10, 2010

a good glove should have goggle squeegee, bomber palms, waterproofing/breathability, no ridiculous cuff, decent insulation, and be less than $50... these fit the bill and then some. I love the rubber palms and the liners are a great bonus, and I don't even use them together (just for driving and skinning).
If it's going to be super cold, use mittens; super warm, use pipe gloves (or just liners). For normal conditions, THESE ROCK!!!

Lange Banshee Pro Ski Boot - Men's

November 18, 2009

it's comes 98mm last, but remember that a boot fitter can make all the difference. I have a pretty wide foot. $40 for a little grinding and punching and these are perfect. too many things I like on this boot to compromise for something else.

Review Title

Black Diamond Megawatt Ski

Black Diamond Megawatt Ski

Rating for this product: 5 October 14, 2009

I love these skis but the mounting point is way old school/tele. Get them mounted a bit forward (3 to 6cm) for maximum pleasure. Nice and floaty, kill crud and are stable on groomers. I am remounting mine with Dukes. I'm told that the rocker is okay for skinning with these, especially if you aren't going for 6k vert on an icy track.
