Awesome lightweight ski.My perfect spring touring ski for those big long days.
If you are looking to save weight this is the ski to have.Works well in the powder to.Save your energy on the climb so you can rip the downhill.

Tried a different color other than black.Ocher first time I heard of that color.

I haven't taken it off since I got it.Warm fleece and a cool casual layer.
I finally have a hoodie that properly fits me.Long sleeves for my long arms.
Proper length too.

This hat looks badass.Black with the brim slightly flipped up.I think people are intimidated when you where this hat.Good shape, looks cool.

It's good to know people in high places.Big mountain charger ski.I finally have a ski I can take to the ski hill on the big powder days.Floats through powder and edges through crud.All the days I've spent climbing uphill, now I can take to the lifts and charge downhill.Especially good in the coast mountains where we get of a lot of wet powder days.

Used the original ones.They look cool.But eventually the locking mechanism
over tightens and you can't adjust them.

Used them for a few days,Just have a weird handle.Can't adjust my touring
bindings with these poles.

Perfect pack for a half hour ride to an 8 hour ride with the basic
gear in mild weather.2litre bladder is perfect for the hotter days.
Streamlined fit.

I have been using this pack for short to all day ripper front country days.
Cool compartments for all the essential gear.Quick transition for carrying skis.
I even use the hydration 2 litre bladder for milder days.

Fattest backcountry skis I've owned.Loving these for the deeper days.
Just point them straight and see them rip.

Small and basic.Put it on your goggles and packs away.Now a staple
whenever I go ski mountaineering and you can document your trip.

The watch is epic just like the name.Limited edition.I have 7882 of 8848.The
height of Everest and to commemorate the 20 Everest summits of Ang Sherpa.
I like the cool sunrise/sunset feature.Compass and asc/dsc real time.As well as the
temp reading.

Bomber and keeps you dry in the gnarly Coastal and Cascades weather.

Protect your skins when you store them away for any
length of time.

I use these for super cold days.Climbing at high altitudes like Denali.
One thing you don't cheap out on is your hands.

I use these when temps get a little cooler.Some extra padding for your shins for
the big days.

It's a toque keeps your head warm eh.Take of eh.

It's like you get two tuques for the price of one.How can you go wrong.

Wore this hat when I went to South America skiing.My Dad
use to call me Castro.I just stuff it in my pack I don't
have to worry about wrecking it.

A bit of a warmer base layer.For all outdoor activities.

Wear it for all outdoor activities.Fast drying and comfortable.

Wear it for all outdoor activities.Fast drying and comfortable.

I wear them casual and trail running,climbing.Even some spring ski touring
days under an hour.I think my Dad even got a pair.

I use to wear track pants as a kid, so why not.Great for after outdooractivities and relaxing at home.I can even go to the gym and do some push upsand sit ups.

Great pants for on hill and sidecountry.Cool look I've been wearing
randork pants for years.

Great idea and it works with no hassels.I've been using these
on my short skins for my Tonics.You don't have to worry about
the tail connector coming off.Once secured they aren't moving.

The key piece of clothing for those slightly chilled days.Works as an extra down
jacket on the super cold days.

Excellent jacket after a day in the mountains or any adventure.More casual looking and gives you a break from wearing technical gear.

3 ply pro shell you gotta love it.Pockets and accessories everywhere.It's cool
but I like more of a streamlined jacket.If you are skiing on the hill, there
are a lot of cool features to use.

If you live on the West Coast or Cascades this is the ultimate everything jacket to have.I've been waiting years for this jacket.Epic rain and snow you stay dry.Athletic fit for skinny people like me.No bulky loose fitting joke.Classic Scott Schmidt colors
how can you go wrong.

Great casual and comfortable hoodie for relaxing.

Great cheap and light jacket for light showers.

It's a little on the shiny side.It's not a fashion show in the mountains.I will
use this jacket in the spring to save weight.Also throw an extra jacket in for
the super cold winter days.Packs to nothing and saves you when you are freezing.

Put it in your pack for emergency.Or pull it out for a quick brake and eat and drink
in comfort.

If you ride a mountain bike this is the pack for you.I use it every ride.Carry's everything I need to ride for one hour or all day.

Fast,Light ripper.Race,steep lines.ski traverses.Even moguls.

One of my first altimeter watches.where my obsession started keeping track of my vertical climbing.It's solid just maybe a little to heavy, carrying around on your wrist all day.

I used it for a while it worked for a little while.But every once in while I would have cool sensation running down my back.A leak at the worst time.Gatorade on your rope.I stopped using camelbacks for a bit too many leaks.

I guess it works, but $6 give me a break.

I was stoked to finally clean the hose on my bladder system.Just a little too expensive for a oouple of brushes.But at least you won't have mold sitting in your hose for months at a time.

This was my second climbing helmet.Did the job at the time.I like the feature to adjust the size, for wearing a togue underneath your helmet.A little on the heavy side.

It's not the lightest or the heaviest.But I tell you when you get stuck out late on the glacier.You want to be able to see.This light is strong enough to ski out in the dark with confidence.

Dialed light.Petzl is the standard in healamps.Put it in your pack and pull it out when it gets dark and get home safely.

Whenever I'm doing a trip I grab a few and I'm good to go.

Casual and comfortable.Good to go to the bar.

Casual and comfortable.Good to go to the bar.

Use it day in day out, for cooler conditions for a base layer,half zip works well when climbing up hill cools slightly.

When I first got a couple of these, I just kept alternating from shirt to shirt, day after day for outdoor activties.

Awesome warmer weather shirt.Cool half zip option for cooling down.

Excellent warm weather shirt.Mountain biking,backcountry skiing,climbing,trail running.

Wore this for years,great shoulder season jacket.All outdoor activities.Unfortunatley I left it at work one day and haven't seen it since.

I got tired of carrying my ice crampons.Got these and saved a lot of weight.Use them for ski mountaineering.

Throw it in your pack.Pull it out when you need it the most.Late night climb.Comuting home from work.Or driving all day and arriving in the dark.When you need to tranfer your gear from car to home.Pull it out and double check you didn't drop any gear.

Used it for a few seasons.Still holding and you don't have to worry about double backing it's automatic once you are tied in.

I'm loving this camera.I use it for skiing and mountain biking.You can film your favorite trails.I've been documenting some of my ski mountaineering descents.Add your favorite music and slap chop some music to it.I use the headband style mount most of the time.The one thing I don't like it your friends are taking photos it kind of looks ridiculous with the camera on your head.

I had this idea. I'm going to ride my bike from Morth Vancouver to Mexico.I wanted to go light with no paniers.
One pack and this is the one I used for 18 days of riding.

Keeps your head warm.

Great day pack.On hill and front country pack.All day epics throw the skis on the back for hiking.Light an durable.

I don't think I ever used a duffle when I went to the gym.But this is cool you just put some gear in there for what ever activities for the day with extra socks and shirts, and at the end of the day you know where your're change of clothes are.Packs into it self very small.

I first saw these on Denali when everyone was slogging up Denal.North Face always had them in photos.This bag rocks.I have all my ski mountaineering gear on stand by in this thing.When it's time to do a trip I just grab the bag and go.When I get to the trail head I take what I need for the day.Durable and water proof.

I use this for my belay carabiner works great.Swiss quality that says it all.

It's works well and not overpriced.Quick installment of the battery.

After a million feet of climbing I still can't download the data to check it out on my computer.What a bummer.

My first snow shovel used it for years, still have it.But I use a different brand now.

Ski sock pull up so you don't get chaffing on your shins.Sometimes wear them in colder times.Keeps your lower legs warm.Excellent for uphill touring and downhill skiing.

Got the brown one.Cool styling hat that keeps it's shape.Choose your size baseball player style.

Fits 2 skis 2 sets of boots.So wether you are doing a road trip by car or plane.You can have a tonne of gear to use once you get there.Heavy on its own, so might as well load it up.

These we're the first carabiners I ever used.Bought four on the spot.They we're solid for years.

Best tasting bar I have eaten so far.It's good to get a break from eating other brands.

This is the ultimate epic xc pack.2 litre bladder.All your tools,extra clothing and your bars.Good to go now for hours and hours.Streamline fit.Just start hammering and don't look back.

Unless it's spam.Light, this what I use for backcountry trips.One utensil that's all you need.

It holds chalk, maybe a little small.Definitely too expensive.I guess that's what you get when you buy Arcteryx.

This what they sell at Mec.It works and keeps my hands dry when I'm wigging out on a lead.

I like this sock for climbing.Compared to the chalk free.I usually spill it at some point either in my pack or somewhere on the crag.The sock is more self contained.

Just be glad you didn't have to use the original secura fixes.These are a step up for sure.If you are a downhill skier and want to go for a quick hike these are for you.Clip and climb.Clip out and ski.Just get used to carrying a lot of extra weight in your pack.It will make you stronger when you can afford lighter bindings.
