This is by far one of the coolest pieces of gear that I have gotten in a long time! The weight is comparable to a kitchen garbage bag, light as air!! And, the comfort is amazing... I can sleep on my side and my hip bone floats free of the ground. The improvements from my old Therma-Rest to this one is night and day. Amazing. My recommendation: if you like sleeping outdoors, you've got to get one!

My feet love these socks, an all-time favorite! I do everything from bumming around the house to hiking a monster trail in these socks. It is great how you can not feel the stitching near the toes and how the cushiony feeling doesn't seem to pack down and fade. I'm sure your feet will love these socks too!!

I love this sleeping bag! I get cold easily, but continue to stay toasty while sleeping in the outdoors. Not one night has gone bye where I have been chilled. This bag is wide enough to sleep on your side and not feel tightly confined. I recommend this sleeping bag if you are looking for that super duper comfy -20 bag with the option to sleep in the snow.

I love this bottle, it keeps all my liquids cold or warm as I play in the mtns. The mouth is wide and makes for easy rinsing and gulping! This water bottle is a little on the tall side, so it doesn't always fit on the outer pouch of my backpack, so I typically shove it in the main compartment. I recommend this bottle for all you water addicts like me.

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!

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.

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!

This pack is perfect for a whole day out on the mtn. I carry my skis, use the hydration insert, and still have enough room for my shovel, probe an extra layer and snacks. This pack continues to go on all the different adventures I do!

The Katana is sweet! It is definitely fat enough to shred anything off-piste, yet still enough shape to carve your way back to the chair. The new graphics look good and the ski is one of the best big mtn skis I've ever ridden on.
