Bio:
A Brit by birth, I've lived in Boston, San Francisco, and now Park City, Utah.
I ski (telemark), climb, trail run, and mountain bike. Pretty much anything outdoors floats my boat.
I love to race, and enter all kinds of crazy competitions (trail and road running, moutain biking, even randonee rallies)
There's nothing better than running on mountain trails with my dogs.

Salomon Tech Amphibian 2 Shoe - Men's
July 23, 2009
A lot depends on your personal taste in shoes. And I don't have any experience with the TechAmphibian2, but I regularly used to run long distances off-road in the first-generation TechAmphibians. In fact, I won two trail marathons wearing them! As long as you're not looking for masses of support/motion-control/protection from the shoe, I would definitely give them a shot.
One point worth considering: the old TA's seemed to be sized for use without socks. Either wear a very thin sock, or buy a half-size larger than normal.

G3 Alpinist Climbing Skins
February 20, 2009
Yes, but the tail kit system would be a little more finicky than say the BD STS kit to crank down on the raised tail, but should work okay. Too bad you can't put the G3 skin tip with the BD tail kit!---2nd answer: I've had the same issue with the G3 clips on full twintip skis: they keep slipping off. I've also found that the BD clip works better.

Marmot Greenland Baffled Down Jacket - Men's
February 5, 2009
Not really. Back of jacket is very slightly lower than front, but not so you'd notice. Length seems to be selected so that it doesn't get too much in the way of a harness.And I don't work for Backcountry, but I'm pretty sure they'll ship this to Canada. If you click the "Global Shipping" button, you'll see a list of brands that cannot be shipped outside of the US. Marmot is not on the list, so you should be good to go.

Scott UNLTD Gore-Tex Pant - Men's
December 31, 2008
Mine arrived today. They look great. And the fabric (Olive Plaid) is way cool. When I've tested them on the slopes, I'll post a full review.I'm a pinhead who is dipping a toe into the world of snowboarding for some variety, and wanted to get some more appropriate clothing. That said, I'm not a fan of the "several sizes too big with waist down by your ankles" snowboard look. While these are definitely more baggy than most Alpine pants, they are far from ridiculous, and the suspenders and waist adjustment straps provide lots of options. Arcteryx Medium pants fit me perfectly, and so does a Medium in these. I would assume that a Large would scale similarly: I say go for it!
