DAKINE Concourse Single Ski Bag

December 8, 2008

I'd go with the 185. You don't want to be stuck with a bag that's too small for your skis, and you can always pack more gear in any extra space you have. I've got this bag myself, and it's always nice finding room for some pants or ski socks once my other bags are full. Hope that helps.

K2 Kung Fujas Alpine Ski

December 7, 2008

I don't know much about the Fujas, but if you're comparing it to the S2's, you might want to consider looking at some of the other Rossis as well. I know the S2 product description says its built with the Weight Reduction System, but I'm not sure that's accurate. From what I can tell, the S2 is based off last year's Ghetto Pro, which means no weight reduction, hence the price difference between the S2 and S4. If you're looking for a really light ski, I'd compare the Fujas to the S4. It's a little wider than the S2, and is super light. However, if you don't spend tons of time in the park, it might prove to be a little too light, when it comes to powering through crud. I'd also recommend looking at the S5. It's built off last year's Brigade (formerly Scratch BC) and with a 98mm waist is probably the closest in size to the K2 Fujas. Hope that helps.

Rossignol S6 Koopman Alpine Ski

November 6, 2008

Depends a bit on the ski of skiing you want to be doing - but I'd say yes. Obviously it doesn't turn over edge-to-edge as quick as a park ski, but once it's on edge, it's got a great side-cut, and can carve pretty well. I have last year's stz and have loved using it in a variety of conditions, from huge powder days to a couple laps in the park.

Great bag, tons of space

Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag

Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag

Rating for this product: 5 September 1, 2008

I got the large messenger bag to use commuting back and forth to school. It's perfect because I can fit a huge amount of stuff in it as once (books, lunch, gym clothes). It is also really well built and durable. I would recommend this bag for anyone who needs to haul a lot, but doesn't want an enormous backpack. Be warned, however, this model differs from the current one in it doesn't come with a padded shoulder strap. If you plan on packing it pretty heavy, I'd advise purchasing the strap as well.

A great glove

Burton R.P.M. Leather Glove - Men's

Burton R.P.M. Leather Glove - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 February 11, 2008

I'm really happy with the quality of these gloves. The leather is very nice, and the insulating layer does a great job keeping my hands warm and dry. I'd highly recommend this glove to anyone looking for something heavier than a pipe glove, but lighter than a big mitten. On a side note, I ordered the rock salt, and they are much more grey than in the picture. They still look awesome, but be aware, if you're dead set on a white glove, this is not it.
