Volkl Katana Alpine Ski

Volkl Katana Alpine Ski

Rating for this product: 5 October 22, 2009

Great ski. It truly rips on any snow conditions. I bought the Katanas thinking I would use them only in powder but was completely blown back by how good they performed on hard pack and ice. They have since been bumped up to my every day ski.

Icebreaker BodyFit260 Legless Bottom - Men's

Icebreaker BodyFit260 Legless Bottom - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 October 22, 2009

Best base layer. Merino wool is amazing. It truly does not stink. I used my icebreaker 260 bottoms every single day last year (I work outside, even in the winter) and they never stunk. And trust me I did not wash them every day, they were lucky if they were washed once every two weeks. There is a bit of a wear and tear issue. It seems if you wear them all day for around 275 day strait you might start to see some holes in the crotch. Who would have imagined that?

Hestra Seth Morrison Pro Model 3-Finger Glove

Hestra Seth Morrison Pro Model 3-Finger Glove

Rating for this product: 5 October 22, 2009

Hestra is the best gloves money can buy. I own a pair of the Hestra vertical cut freeride gloves and the only two things that I thought could be better with them was a bit more warmth and a wrist strap. When I saw this glove with the lobster fingers and wrist strap I knew I had to have it. I can’t wait to use these bad boys on a cold, cold day.

Volkl Mantra Alpine Ski

October 19, 2009

I have tried the gotamas, mantras and katanas. For me the Katanas is where it’s at. I felt they were the best for all conditions. What sealed the deal for me was when I demoed the Katans on a day when there had been no new snow for weeks. The Katans performed way better on the hard pack and ice then I had ever thought. I have no input on the coombas because I have never tried them.

Like Sam said the best thing to do is demo the ski (in multiple conditions if you can) to see what works best for you.

Dalbello Sports Krypton iL Moro I.D. Ski Boot - Men's

October 14, 2009

They come with a second black tongue that is stiffer. They also come with heal wedges that allows you to change the forward lean of the boot. I use the big wedges and the black tongue. With that setup there is no place the iL Moro can’t go.
