Solid shelter

Solid shelter

GoLite Utopia 4 Shelter 4-Person

This was our base camp for 4 days in a snowstorm in montana last winter. Snowed the whole time and the shelter held up great. Epic for backpacking since it is so light!

DAKINE Heli Pro DLX 20L Backpack -1200cu in

November 12, 2009

This pack is to slim for a camera block. It would fit way too tight, especially if you plan on carrying Avy gear. This pack's measurements are 21 x 11 x 5.5" , the camera block is 16 x 11 x 5"... From my experience with the camera block, you need at least an inch or 2 of extra room in you're pack for the camera block to slide in and fit nicely. Having back access is Key as well... I recommend the Chute pack(36L), or the sequence pack which comes with the camera block.

Excellent bivy

Outdoor Research Aurora Bivy

Rating for this product: 5 November 12, 2009

The Aurora bivy has treated me well, keeps me super dry and adds a bit of warmth when sleeping in the snow. I have never had issues with condensation, though i have never slept in it with the storm flap fully closed... I used this bivy last winter during a massive snowstorm in montana, for 3 nights, and my sleeping bag stayed dry and warm the whole trip. Gotta love that bug net for summer skeeter's too!

DAKINE Camera Block - 800cu in

November 6, 2009

There's no way the block will fit in a 20L pack... 30L is the minimum i would say, anything smaller is much to tight. It really depends on how deep the backpack is. The Block is 11x15 by 5inches deep so the pack has to be at least 7 inches deep for it to fit good. Try the Dakine Chute pack (36L), i have a feeling that one will fit the camera block very nicely as it has lots of room and it's 9 inches deep, with Back access which is KEY for the block...

Our bomb-proof camera home

DAKINE Sequence Backpack w/ Camera Block - 2000cu in

Rating for this product: 5 November 6, 2009

I have taken many harsh digger's on to my back, while wearing this pack with lots of camera gear inside. It has always held up strong and our camera gear comes out intact! Killer pockets and space for essential backcountry equipment, food, and whatever else the day calls for... The back access and camera block are the greatest things to happen to snowboard/ski photography! No more fussing with pack straps and digging for you're camera. This setup is legit! Great pack to switch between buddies on runs to make sure everybody gets a photo experience to remember. Pictures are worth 1000 words, or more!

The North Face Gravitation Triclimate Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 November 6, 2009

This is an awesome jacket for any type of snow-sport. I used mine all last winter and it is still in tip top shape! It fits great, its very water proof, and it is nice and warm. The under arm zip's are ideal for venting while hiking and high perspiration activities. Lots of good storage in the pockets, and i LOVE the goggle pocket on the inside... A must have if you hike often!

Excellent snowboard...

Rossignol One Mag Snowboard

Rating for this product: 5 November 5, 2009

This is an epic board, one of the best in the rossi line up in my opinion. After riding with magne-traction i don't think i'll be going back to a straight edge. The Magne edge give you incredible hold on ice and hard packed snow, and when you're riding back-country you'll be happy to have it when you hit some variable snow. This would be the 1 board i would choose for everything. Park, powder, pipe, groomers, ect.

Keep rover afloat...

Ruffwear Portage Float Coat Dog Lifejacket

Rating for this product: 5 October 21, 2009

Our family dog is an Italian mastiff, a very heavy boy... We were a bit worried what we would do with him when we got into floating rivers. He was never a water dog, but when we got this life-vest for him he found a new love! Once he realized that he could not sink, he was in the water all day! He is now a great swimmer! When he gets bucked off the boat in the rapid's i have the peace of mind knowing that he will always float!! Great product...

Fun and easy to ride

Rossignol Angus Snowboard

Rating for this product: 4 October 21, 2009

This board is perfect for the beginner or intermediate rider. It is mostly reverse camber with a touch of traditional camber in between the binding inserts. This makes for a super easy ride in many ways. It's contact points are in between you're feet and it pivots on a dime. The reverse camber makes it float effortlessly in powder and chop snow. For my riding style, I think this board is much too flexy and has too much reverse camber to make it a "hard charging" big mountain board... But for some one who like's to "play" in the powder and park it is perfect.

Black Diamond Expedition Ski Pole

Rating for this product: 5 October 20, 2009

These poles great for split-boarding. They are light weight yet strong, and super collapsable which is key if you are carrying them on you're back. I love to use them in the summer for heavy backpacking as well. Mine have held up great for the last 3 seasons...

Black Diamond Momentum AL Harness Package

Rating for this product: 5 October 5, 2009

I got the momentum package when i started climbing 3 years ago. The harness is a solid design, and i see no reason to upgrade even after 3 summers of mild use. The new version here is even better then the one i have. Perfect for someone who wants to get into climbing, highly recommend it!
