good
03-23-09 ![]() |
This is a great tent. The weight was great and the tent held up well in some pretty high winds. It is a very good size for one person and some gear, I think that if you had 2 people it would be way to small especially if you had gear for a couple day trip. Overall very good tent, great quality, Just gave it 4 stars because the size wouldn't work very well for 2 people. |

not great
11-28-08 ![]() |
got them for my girlfriends birthday. They looked great when I got them, seemed to be very good quality. She loved how they looked but did notice that they were very slim around the ankle so were difficult to get onto the foot. Once they were on she said they were very comfortable and warm. Pretty disappointed though because after she wore them for about a week the seam along the back of the ankle pulled apart. For boots this expensive it doesn't seem like this is something that should happen. |

great little stove
03-23-09 ![]() |
Great little stove for backpacking trips. It's lightweight and boils water very fast. The skillet is just about the right size for a couple eggs and it also works well to flip over and use as a lid. Everything fits right back into the pot which goes into a small mesh sack that holds everything very neatly. |

Great Pack
03-23-09 ![]() |
This is a great pack! It was very comfortable and the ventilated back panel kept my back breathing well. I had it packed pretty tight but never really noticed the weight while hiking. The front pockets worked great for carrying a personal camp stove and extra lenses for my camera and the sleeping bag compartment was a great fit with the marmot helium eq. I think that the only complaint that I have is that it was a little akward packing the gear around the curved frame but once everything was in it was great. |

Look like a champ in any kind of snow!

these obviously float very well. Tried them out for a week, had them mounted with some BD Fritschi Freeride Plus's. They got pretty heavy hiking because the weight of the skins that fit them but more than made up for it on the way back down the hill. You will look like a champ in any kind of snow condition! |

Not too bad
03-19-09 ![]() |
These skis were actually pretty suprising. I tried them out on a groomer day, they carved a lot better than I thought they would. The only complaint that I had is that they did feel a little akward at times when i was turning because the tips kept clicking together because of the width. they are still very fun skis and will obviously float in the deep stuff. |

Awesome!

These are some killer skis. Probably the first true all mountain ski that I have ever been on. Killed it on the groomers but are still fat enough to float well in the deep stuff. Get a pair if you get the chance! |

these are awesome shirts, they look and feel like a soft cottin but have some spandex as well so they will stretch as you move. very comfortable and fit true to size. |

fun

These are pretty fun skis. They don't do very well in the crud but turn well and are a good all around ski. I really wish that they kept them stiffer. |

fun skis
01-08-09 ![]() |
These are really fun skis. They float very well in the powder! The thing that came as a suprise to me was how decent they did on the groomers as well. I thought that they were going to be complete dogs on groomers but were actually pretty playful and carved alright. The place where I wasn't such a fan or these ski's was in the crud, has very soft tip and tail and I just felt like I was getting tossed around a lot on these. I would recommend these for those deep powder days! |

pretty cool
01-08-09 ![]() |
this is a pretty cool ski. They are really heavy, I have used them mostly on groomers so far and they are really fun to point down the hill because you will never find the top speed on them. The thing that I didn't like was they didn't like to turn very well, they just felt pretty planky. If you get a chance to try them out, go for it! |

good ski
12-02-08 ![]() |
these ski's are a lot of fun. I have only used them on groomers so far and was surprised how well they did. Felt good, went up on edge very easily, felt very stable at speed and blasted through the crud very well. One thing I noticed with them is that you have to stay pretty aggressive with them or they will start to toss you around a bit. They are definitely worth checking out, a lot of fun! |

Pretty good

It's a pretty decent pack, nothing special. I'm not a very big fan of the top snowboard strap because you have to unbuckle it every time you want to get into the pack. Also I will probably end up cutting most of the straps shorter because they are all pretty long. It fit's pretty well to my back and has a low profile which is nice for me. Seems like it would work well for carrying a laptop as well. |
