For the moment I’ve lost track of how many companies are planning to offer a BC airbag pack. According to a catalog I was browsing last week, there will be 26 brands of airbag packs in Europe alone, or maybe that was the number of licensees for avy packs working with the original ABS. With …

Review: Burnt Mt. Design’s teledog – Spike!
- By Dostie
- 12 mins to read
To the discerning telemarker, as oxymoronic as that may sound, there is a lot that goes into selecting the components of the best tele system. In the end it really doesn’t matter, you can’t make gear an excuse for poor technique but the right combination of a boot and binding can make a world …

Review: Dynafit’s fat boy – Huascaran
- By Dostie
- 6 mins to read
Anyone who knows my quiver knows I am not fond of oversized skis, especially those whose waist has ballooned beyond 100mm. When forced I’ll accept another 10mm of blubber but only with a locked heel. That bias runs deep, so beware this review is an attempt to give enough information based on my experience …

First Look: Atomic’s Waymaker AT boots
- By Dostie
- 9 mins to read
One of the surprise gear revelations for next season was Atomic’s decision to double-down on backcountry boots. Atomic began their entry into the BC boot market with last year’s Tracker.

Review: Adrenaline, Tyrolia’s passport binder
- By Dostie
- 8 mins to read
Last season Tyrolia announced their intention to join Marker with their version of yet another passport binding. When one floated through the Start Haus recently I took advantage of the opportunity and snuck ’em out for a tour. In downhill mode there is little to distinguish Tyrolia’s AT trainer binding from other brands. A passing …

Review: Ascension Climbing Skins (v.12-13)
- By Dostie
- 5 mins to read
It has been a year since my first tour with the current version of Ascension climbing skins. The last pair of nylon skins from BD sported the tire tread pattern, Glidelite brand name, and lasted 5+ years before the glue went bad (serendipitously just one week after a rave review 😉 ) You can …
