Nice Goggles

Smith Scope Graphic Goggle

Smith Scope Graphic Goggle

Rating for this product: 5 January 8, 2012

These goggles fit very well and go perfect with the Smith Variant Helmet. There is no gap between helmet and goggles. I have worn them in sunny and cloudy/snowy conditions and the lens works in both. Great detail and definition. They also have not fogged up on me yet.

Good Goggles

Smith Sundance Junior Goggle - Youth

Rating for this product: 5 February 5, 2010

Got these goggles for my 2.5 year old. He loves them and skis with them all the time. He even wears them in the car on the way up to the resort. Great fit for his small face. Comes with a lot of extra strap to fit around a helmet.

I've had this boot for two seasons now and absolutely love it. They are very comfortable and warm even on freezing days. They also provide great stability when skiing on the slopes. I highly recommend this boot.

Awesome Jacket

Mammut Laser Softshell Jacket - Men's

Mammut Laser Softshell Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 December 22, 2009

This is my third Mammut jacket and every jacket so far has been outstanding. The Laser so far is my favorite softshell and I have had several other brands. The Schoeller fabric feels great. It is very soft and comfortable and moves with you. I have worn it ski touring and skiing and loved it. I skied in 10 degrees Fahrenheit and 30 mph wind and was toasty warm. I was wearing a Mammut Jasper Zip and a Mammut fleece under it. The fabric is not 100% windproof. It is VERY wind resistant though. You can see a good graph on Schoeller's website at: http://www.schoeller-textiles.com/en/fabrics/soft-shell.html.

My two gripes with the jacket are that there are no inside pockets. (for the price I would expect some) and the hood is way too big unless you use it with a helmet.

Overall I would highly recommend this jacket. It is worth every penny.

Great Binding!

Marker Duke Ski Binding

Marker Duke Ski Binding

Rating for this product: 5 November 29, 2008

Climbed a couple of 14ers with this binding. The Duke handled great. I found switching between regular and ski touring mode to be very easy. It was smooth in touring mode when walking and worked outstanding on the descents. They are mounted on Nordica Enforcers.

Very Warm

Marmot Randonnee Glove

Marmot Randonnee Glove

Rating for this product: 5 November 29, 2008

My hands were always the only part of my body that would get cold. I wore these gloves all of last season and they kept me warm at -15 degrees in strong wind. I would highly recommend this glove.

Awesome Ski

Nordica Enforcer Alpine Ski

Nordica Enforcer Alpine Ski

Rating for this product: 5 January 28, 2008

I have had this ski with the Marker Duke binding for 2 weeks and skied it in Powder, groomers, and hard pack. It handles everything outstanding. It floats on the powder and carves like no other ski I have ever had on groomers. You can almost lay down in the turns. Unbelievable!! The only downside is that at high speed they do chatter slightly on hard pack snow when you're not doing a perfect carving turn. I would highly recommend this ski.
