Re: Backpack for longer tours?
If you want to get really pricey, Hyperlite Mountain Gear released the Headwall 55 in collaboration with Cody Townsend. I know in the backpacking community they are held in high regard for quality and overall durability. It is quite expensive though! I have a Granite Gear pack that I am fond of, as ...

Re: The Alberta XCD thread
Sundre area here! I ski on my NATOs multiple times a week on farms, nearby leases, and wider hiking trails west of town. There is a ton of great XCD around the foothills and it keeps me sane in the wintertime when I can't fly fish or hike. We are so lucky to have Norseman in Calgary for our specifi...

Madshus Glittertind Boots - Long Term Review
I have been skiing with Madshus Glittertind boots for 4 winters now so I thought I would add a review here of them. I do not see them mentioned often in any circles really, but I have really enjoyed the boots. For context I started with these boots as a complete beginner 4 years ago, and still use t...

We got a big snow storm at home, good conditions to go cruise around the farm with my buddy.

Re: Pictures, pictures and pictures!
After a long period of no new snow at home, we finally had a decent storm. I went out and enjoyed some clumsy turns on my natos on a low angle hill on my property. Too much fun! I am finally getting the hang of telemark turning, but the conditions have to just right for me to look anywhere near stab...

Re: New skis for new guy
I think the NATO is a great option to go with. I started skiing them last year and they have been awesome in every situation that I have found myself in. They are a very stable ski, easy to navigate downhill sections with by either telemark turns or simply just snow plowing if the conditions are les...

Re: Lighter than NNN BC Alpina Alaskas?
I would put a plug in for Madshus Glittertind boots actually! I find mine very comfortable, fairly flexible for kick and glide, and light. They also have a ratcheting strap across the upper part of the boot that really locks the ankle and heel in when it's needed. It can be loosened or undone entire...
