Line's Eric Pollard and Blend Skis
(09 October 2009) - While we've yet to give them a proper test run, Line's all-terrain Eric Pollard Pro (pictured above, click on image for detail) and Blend maple macroblock core skis (pictured below) have us excited for the upcoming snow season. The extremely nimble EP Pros are "the culmination of four years worth of prototype powder skis," designed to offer a super smooth ride and seamless backwards...

Mover Skiwear
(21 April 2009) - Recently coming across the smart skiwear made by Mover, I realized how completely deprived I was of snow this season—which is what's great about the brand. Their classically chic designs work just as well in city streets as they do on alpine slopes, making for a perfect compromise. Pairing an old-school aesthetic with futuristic techniques, Swedish (though Switzerland-based) label takes wool—one of the oldest...

Heidiskis Handmade Wood Core Skis
(17 April 2009) - A few weeks ago the CH team sadly took our last run down the slopes for the winter at the secluded mountain of Sugarbush Vermont. The fact that it was our last trip was only brightened by the experience of trying the new, all wood core, handmade Heidiskis from Austria. (Pictured above: Joel, Ami and myself on the lift.) Originally only available made to...

Crested Butte Mountain Resort: Part 1
(02 February 2009) - It's no wonder the privately owned Crested Butte Mountain Resort (CBMR) is on the edge of becoming a full-blown destination resort—in some ways similar to that of its long distance neighbor Telluride—however it somehow manages to maintain a relaxed, local and very backcountry feel. Friend and CBMR's Communication Director, Todd Walton comments, "As change occurs, we maintain a profound respect for what has made...

The Stash at Killington: Rough Cut and Interview
(22 January 2009) - Last week we were invited by our friends at Burton to go up to Killington, VT to try out the new Stash trail which opened early this year. Taking riding back to the roots of freestyle, the Stash run strategically weaves it way down a wooded trail offering a mix of terrain, hits, rails, jibs, powder shots and even a small cabin for the...

Zeal Optics Link Spherical Goggles
(26 March 2008) - No matter the conditions, the limited edition Zeal Optics Link Spherical goggles I tried out this past weekend will have you covered. New for 2008, they feature the world's first polarized and photochromatic lens. Polarization allows for increased clarity and depth perception, but the lens also changes the level of opacity depending on the light and time of day, adapting to low light and...

Five Ski Sets
(07 March 2008) - We've had a pretty good snow season this year out on the East Coast compared to recent seasons. With the Winter winding down now, I've had a few good months to research, check out and ponder my next ski set as I'm not so sure how much more my current decks can handle. There was a lot of new equipment released this year but...

Lifebag
(25 October 2007) - For extreme sports types or those who just like to take every precaution, Swiss company Snowpulse developed Lifebag. Like an airbag, it's designed to protect the head and thorax while keeping you afloat during an avalanche. Manually deployed similar to a parachute, the 150-liter shield inflates in less than three seconds and deflates after 90 seconds. Should you get buried, when the bag deflates...

Ski Thing
(30 January 2006) - We're partial to boarding, but if you're a skier check out Ski Thing, a new ski carrier that attaches to your ski boot. It's a very simple design that allows you to place your skis in a small "cup," making walking around with your skis less cumbersome. When you hit the lift you can either remove the Ski Thing from your boot or snap...
