This is my one and only ski. It takes care of me on the groomers and it keeps me afloat in the POW, bro. For my Telemark style, I like a stiff ski that can absorb the shock of any mogul or barricade. The Sick Bird is definitely a stiff ski. Thus, we make the perfect couple. I love these skis and I haven't even told my girlfriend that I love her.

These are practical sunglasses that work great. Go crazy with the style (choose a crazy color), but the size and fit are for a medium size face.

The best attribute to these knee pads is that they don't have and velcro. Velcro sticks to the inside of your ski pants. These knee pads are very well designed. They are the next level up.

I was expecting to use this sandal/shoe for sailing this summer. However, it has proven to be the perfect approach shoe for climbing. Everyone else wears sandals. The H2s are better because they protect your toes. There is a lot of scree on most approaches and these do a great job of protecting da feet. But they get pretty stinky if you wear them a lot, but everybody should be getting there shoes stinky.

The helmet was very functional. I thought it was lightweight and comfortable. It was easy to take out the vent plugs. I used it while on a trip to Italy. It helped me to conquer the Sellaronda. A magnificent ski adventure in the Dolomites of Italy.

These goggles were terrific and I got so many compliments on the style and color. They were extremely comfortable, and I never had to adjust them once I positioned them correctly. They never fogged up. On cloudy days, I could also really still see the contour of the snow which made skiing more enjoyable. Thanks, they were great. Chris

The helmet was awesome, I felt safer than ever before. It fit great, kept my head warm but not too hot. I conveniently opened the vents on warmer days and felt cooler. The adjustable chin strap was really helpful at times.

As a tele skier, I adjust my pole length a lot between hiking, touring, and skiing. The flick lock is the fastest and most efficient means for adjusting a pole and the thing can with stand pressure.

Pros- * Adjustable cable setting for touring and skiing * Heel riser is lifted, for quick and easy adjustment * Shoe horn, to help get fitted in the bindings quicker Cons - * It seems like there is a lot of time management with these bindings. * It is very odd to get used to one centric spring, rather then two cartridges (they take the Cannondale shock approach to skiing)
