I’m upping my ski game. I just picked up a pair of Blizzard Zero G’s with Marker bindings which work for downhill or backcountry.
This rig is a little heavy for backcountry, but looking forward to testing them out this coming season.

First Look: Smith Vantage Men’s Snow Helmet
After about 50 years of skiing, it’s time I got a helmet. I have to many years of knowledge crammed into my cranium to risk a blow to the head now. For the job I’ve got a new Smith Vantage ski helmet.
I’ll be putting this helmet to good use backcountry skiing and downhill skiing this spring and next fall/winter, then posting my full review then.
Stay tuned.

First Look: Armada ARV JJ Powder Skis
This winter has been epic. Massive amounts of powder have given me the itch to pick up new gear, and super-wide powder skis have been on my shopping list for awhile. I’m now the proud owner of a set of Armada ARV JJ skis with Armada bindings.
I was able to try these wide boards out once in spring conditions, not powder. Not optimal but I had to try them before the snow melted. I’ll be putting these into play as soon as the powder hits for the 2019-2020 season, and posting a review soon.
Stay tuned, so to speak.

Near Death Experience Skiing
Ever have a near-death experience? This Main Chute on Mt. Baldy at Alta Ski Area. I stop by now and then to thank my old friend for chewing me up and spitting me out ALIVE.
I’ve heard I was the only one who fell the entire way from top to bottom and survived. I skied away with only a dislocated shoulder many years ago. Thanks again, old friend…
