Bio:

Living life outdoors, in the mtns, is what I live for. I spend most of my time skiing, snowmobiling, motoing, mtn biking, or hiking with my dog. I'm probably geeking out on the computer if I'm not outside.

Life in the snow has been unreal! I've had the delight of skiing for 5 Warren Miller Films and documenting photos of my adventures for all the major ski magazines.

Big thanks to my sponsors:

Volkl, Tecnica, Marker, Mountain Hardwear, Smith, Gordini, Clif Bar, Snowbird, Alta*

Volkl Kuro Alpine Ski

October 16, 2009

The mtns that line the ski tip bottoms on the Volkl Kuro look sweet as your busting through powder, hucking cliffs, or just walking around... as I am here in Alaska :)

Chillin' with my Agent's

Tecnica Agent 130 Ski Boot - Men's

October 16, 2009

This boot is super comfortable with incorporated performance, that is insane! I have ski toured, hucked and apre'd in these boots, and my feet never screamed for me to take them off. The Tecnica Agent is a pretty stiff boot, very responsive, and for an aggressive skier. And the purple.. oh my.. grape jolly ranchers for the feet... how AWesome is that?!!

Answer to: "I have some volkl kuros (130mm waist). how would these skins"

Black Diamond GlideLite Mohair/Nylon MIX STS Skin

November 4, 2009

Actually that is a sick Backcountry set-up!
It's obvious that you care more about Down than up. For the Kuro's I'd run the fattest skin and buy some fat tips...

Answer to: "I am 5'8 and 150 lbs, I usually ride 169's or so at the"

Volkl Gotama Ski

October 28, 2009

I would definitely go with the 178's. The new Gotama has a slight reverse camber (rocker) to it, so it skis a little bit shorter.. less contact with the snow. I am also 5'8 and love both the 178 and the 186's. Length is a plus if you're looking to fly through the powder, but if you're digging the tight trees and short radius turns, shorter may be a better call, either way, you'll love this ski!

Big Mtn versatility

Volkl Katana Alpine Ski

Rating for this product: 5 September 30, 2009

This ski blows my mind! For the off piste shredder looking to buy one ski this season that does it all, this really is the fat-rockered ski you want! I've been impressed with the way the Katana holds and carves fluidly on ice and windpack, and completely rally's in Powder. This ski is on the stiff side, so although you can finesse it, there are times where it demands aggressiveness. The slightly rockered shape of this new Katana has been a sweet improvement over past Volkl Katana's... which I thought, was as good as it gets!

Step up your Game!

Volkl Kuro Alpine Ski

Rating for this product: 5 September 30, 2009

This ski is FAT, Rockered and probably the most fun ski I've ever ridden. If you are a skier that likes groomers and carving, this is not the ski for you! But, if you are looking to advance your big mtn skills by straight-lining Backcountry lines and smearing powder with speed, you will be in love with the Kuro!This ski is for the really advanced, a big mtn skier that has no problems pointing it and committing themselves downhill. The Kuro is fairly stiff throughout, so you'll feel confident at high speeds... no feeling of a soft, folding, fore body, over the bars sensation.

Does it ALL!

Marker Duke Ski Binding

Rating for this product: 5 September 26, 2008

I have a pair of Dukes on a Volkl Katana's = the ultimate set up for backcountry ski touring and aggressive skiing. Although this binding is on the heavy side, it is the BOMBER! I'd pick a little weight for a sense of confidence in my bindings any day. If you're a light weight and this is too much binding for you, consider the new Marker Baron. I skied the Baron too and it skis very similar to the Duke, but it is lighter and has a lower din setting. If you're looking to skin up Superior or Cardiac Ridge... and then pointing it down with ripping super G turns, then the Duke is the perfect binding!
