Armada ARG Alpine Ski

March 5, 2009

I'm being trained as a Heliskiing guide in AK next season and I thought I'd pick up some more specific powder skis and was looking into: the K2 hellbents, pontoons, the 4frnt EHPs, and these. Does anyone know which are better and why? I know skis very well but I've never riden a reverse cambered or rockered ski before and am struggling with the similarities.

Was Attractive

Arc'teryx Covert Hoody Jacket - Men's

Arc'teryx Covert Hoody Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 August 8, 2008

This coat is a soft, good looking and wonderfully warm layer, but, and this is a big but, it is not windproof and it piles, making you look like a hobo from up close. this coat remains soft and warm for years but looses it's attractive qualities after not too long, and is never worth the full price, for sale however...

Marmot Eco Pro 15 Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Synthetic

Marmot Eco Pro 15 Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Synthetic

Rating for this product: 5 July 25, 2008

At least as good as any other 15 degree bag I've ever tried, this increadile bag will keep you warm in a cabin, house and in anything but very cold winter camping (I live in Alaska), and the fact that it is recycled materials helps you sleep at night. Great product by marmot.

Helly Hansen Odin Work Vest - Men's

Helly Hansen Odin Work Vest - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 May 16, 2008

going up one size is mandatory unless you're going to wear the vest only over a shirt, fits snuggly and whatever is underneath needs to as well. The radio pocket is only little walkie talkie sized and no good for icom, VHF or any surface to air radios that are useful outside the resort. Kind of a novelty piece

Solid equipment!

Backcountry Access Tracker DTS Beacon

Backcountry Access Tracker DTS Beacon

Rating for this product: 4 May 16, 2008

Much simpler than the Pieps beacon or old analog beacons. Not the best technically but simplicity matters at least as much when in an adrenaline-filled search

The Best I've ever had

Giro 2008 G10 MX Helmet

Giro 2008 G10 MX Helmet

Rating for this product: 5 May 16, 2008

This is the most bommer and most comfortable helmet for all things skiing. I'm used to the protection of a ski racing helmet and this is a much more comfortable option that offers comparable safety and won't get you laughed off of big mountain summits. Has easy vents that are great for hiking and warm days alike, while closing them keeps out the Alaskan rain and bitter cold that I deal with every day, in a way that hats and other helmets could only pretend to do.

P.S. Unlike some other Giro helmets the brim on this looks extremely dumb on snowboarders, sorry.

Great

Burton AK Clutch Glove - Men's

Burton AK Clutch Glove - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 May 16, 2008

Good looking, waterproof gloves that perform wonderfully for about a season. If you ski the rubber from your poles will rip the thumbs and they will no longer be waterproof after a year in wet or hard riding. Be prepared to get props from the jealous public.

Burton AK Gore 2L Insulated Jacket - Men's

Burton AK Gore 2L Insulated Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 January 30, 2007

I've already reviewed this Jacket, but I'm writing another one to tell you all to write your name in it, in the most obvious places. I've hade my Jacket for several months so far and already some one stole it from the bench by my locker. It is too great a Jacket to loose and I'm not only sad, but cold and wet on the slopes.

Burton AK Gore 2L Insulated Jacket - Men's

Burton AK Gore 2L Insulated Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 November 27, 2006

This coat combined the style of Burton gear with the flexible protection of Gore Tex and heavy insulation. The jacket has kept me warm in recent sub zero degree temps and shed the heaviest of Southeast Alaska's fall rains. Excellent
