holy cow this is one hot jacket! i wish it had pit zips to cool me down. Love the close to body fit and the insulated hood that fits over the your bucket is nice on those high wind, lateral snowfall days. when everyone else is running to the lodge for protection from the elements, you're staying deep in them because you have the Fission SV on.

Merrell Sonic Glove Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Merrell Sonic Glove Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 December 31, 2011

I use these to help strengthen my minor muscles to aid me in long distance running. They really help you learn to run with better posture and less injury once you are able to get past the leanring curve of runnign in minimalist shoes....patience in your progress by starting with small runs and walking around town in them. Your form will change....and then you will change.

Hoka One One Mafate Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 December 31, 2011

Will say these are fast on the downhill..to the point you will wish you had disc brakes. Soles don't hold the greatest traction on slick surfaces and due to the surface area, they are like powder skis and float and smear on snow and mud.

A lot of people i know who are runnign in the Hoka's found these because of previous injuries that kept them from running...and now they are running fools! Great piece to have in your running arsenal...go fast, its time to fly

used a full, small gas canister at 13,500' on Kings Peak and it ran non stop for 2.5 hours. Used this sick system for Miso, tea and for heat, heating water in bottles to throw in our sleeping bags. Self contained system is compact and easy to set up and get boiling! This should be a standard in anyone's pack that wants hot fluids fast!

Black Diamond Verdict Ski

Rating for this product: 4 December 31, 2011

A great ski to have in the quiver for both resort and the BC. Wide enough for great floatation and decent radius to rip the groomers at speed all while feeling light under foot.

Black Diamond O1 Telemark Ski Binding

Black Diamond O1 Telemark Ski Binding

Rating for this product: 4 December 31, 2011

Been using the O1 since it was first released and theres a reason why I just bought another pair, because they are bad ass! A little heavier yes. Sometimes you get a little snow build up under the toe plate you have to clean out to lock the binding back into ski position. Sometimes the cartridges spin out. But every binding has their issues and these are pretty minimal in my opinion for why you buy these bindings, because you get phenominal power transfer, ease of switching from ski to tour and the cartridges don't get worn down because they are under foot.

i'm 148 pounds and have always been n the ridiculously stiff and have never felt more in control in any variety of snow condition and at any speed.

Is there a better skin out there? The stiffness factor is great in the wind but can be uncomfortable under the jacket, taking up more space than necessary. I'd buy them again!!!
