I am picky on jackets and I have to have a jacket that is for multi-condition use. Riding in Utah, your gear has to accommodate this. This jacket is amazing! Very, Very,warm with a poly insulation, Stormlite 3.0 is really waterproof, breathable and comfortable, the powder skirt is very comfortable, the Ipod pocket with the run through phones access is sweet and there is even a pass pocket on the left side of the jacket in front of the powder skirt. Has venting on the arms and chest. The wrists will wrap around your gloves and it has articulation on the elbows for those grabs off those hits! A+!

From the adjustable waist, to the two way fly zipper, double hook and loop closure rear pockets, nice cargo, pockets with the sweetest pass pocket on the left cargo pocket for fast lift loading the articulation on the knees and the sweet clip on rubber waist gaiter that is amazing on you boots. Did I mention waterproof and really warm? These keep you on the mountain riding, not in the lodge trying to warm back up! Warm on the lift chair too! A+

Super light and form fitting, this pack is the great bag to hike that big trail you are looking to get up, or for those long trails or peaks you are trying to get up. It has a really cool feature in the mesh back of the pack that rests on your spine, your back forms to your hydration reservoir for a much better feel on your back. The hip belt pockets have a lot of room for hands on things you need and the chamber in the pack can hold a small first aid kit, jacket and camera. Great pack if you are looking something other than the traditional pack that is out there these days!

Just returned from the High Uinta Wilderness here in Utah, and these boots were king! Very light weight, and tons of support on your heel, ankle, and no rolling! They stood up to the test with a lot of weight on my back, my legs were tired, but my feet never were! They were exceptional at fording water, and they breath better than any boot I have ever owned! If you are looking for a sweet backpacking boot- These are the ones! Check it!

I have used this filter in Denali National Park, The Uinta's, San Rafael Swell, and Zion National Park, and this filter is very easy to assemble, easy to pump into a reservoir or Nalgene, and stores in a hurry as well. This very quickly filled 2- 32 0z Nalgene's, a 64 oz water container for cook water, and both our bladders in our frame packs.I have used this alot on Dayhikes too, and this will even with a coffee filter over the filter will pump silt filled water. I would not ever consider using another water filter for backpacking.

Packed my board, mounted and still had room to stick my helmet, boots and my outerwear and gloves in this bag. Stuffing it gave more protection than this bag provides on its own. It stood up to baggage handling, and I had a great week in February riding Timberline and Meadows. If you are looking for an inexpensive bag to check your board for a trip this winter, this is the bag you need.

From hiking the local springs,or hiking various trails and forks, to bagging 11- 12,000 foot peaks, this pack is light, holds alot of gear, and is really functional on the trail or to the summit! I have hiked the 200+ miles of forest service trails here in the Wasatch with my Trail Blazer, as well as in Oregon, and Washington and even Denali, Alaska. This is a great day pack for 4-6 hour trips. I have even tied my bag and solo tent and some food with extra clothes and done overnighters! This day pack rules!

These have a balanced response on them and are incredibly sharp. They are well designed and they work great with your pod.

These bindings are the works! I can drop the steep and deep and hit natural kickers and bomb a fresh powder day with them! They are very responsive, capstraps are the bomb, and they will not break when loading the lift chair! Bottom line- dont sleep on these bindings!

This pack has a hydration sleeve that is stretch with a hanging cord, plenty of room for gear food and anything else you need to carry with you. the strap system on this is extremely comfortable and is form fitting to you to reduce swing in the pack. The chest strap has a built in whistle in case you get lost, or just want to get some hottie hikers attention on the trail!

Rome is known for putting out a sick board, and the Solution lives up to Rome's reputation. This has nice flex with good pop and handles groomers and powder with ease. From beginners to intermediates this board is the choice for you.

I got to try this as a tester last year. It is great with the built in biner, and it comes in handy when you need some power for the ipod or cell phone. It will clip from your pack and you can charge as you are hiking. For those weight counters out there, this is one of the lightest and best options out there. Not only charges from the sun, but stores it until you need it.

Got this stove to replace my Pocket Rocket that I got a severe burn from, and cant stop raving about this little monster! Pay attention to this little guy, and don't let the size fool you, this stove can burn hot, and boils water very fast, by the time you have your coffee press set, it will be time to pour! This cooks quick, and is easy to use with the nice handy twist valve and the Peizo igniter. An 8 oz can lasted 5 days in Escalante and there was still fuel left over. Cools very fast too! Worked at 10,000 feet in the Uinta's. Get one for those backpack condo adventures!

Living in Utah, we get the deep fluffy stuff and if you are centered in your stance you will get stuck. But not this board, with its set back stance, and round tail, you will float through powder like you are flying! And to top it off, no rear leg burn from that set back either. This core is stiff where you need it on your effective edge, and soft where you don't. i have even taken mine off jumps and natural hits, and it is the ruler! No wonder Terje rides this board! Sick A++++!

You can wear these in the cold, they are really warm, but they are also really nice in mild to warm conditions, they do not overheat you. They are really functional on the hill, as well as a nice fit and really well made.

These are really comfortable and nice to have on a chilly night. I like the logo placement and would gladly sport this just about anywhere.

These goggles breathe better than any other pair that I have owned. They have a nice fit for my medium face, the amber lens I have is great for low-light and Oakley puts a sticky rubber so you spend less time fixing your goggles on your helmet and more time getting your turns in that deep snow. Did I mention they look sweet!

I down one of these with a 16 OZ glass of water before I head up to summit anything. this gives you an incredible amount of energy with out the muscle cramping and overtired feeling you get at high altitude. These do not taste bad at all, my favorite being the berry. If you need that extra gas to get up the hill, GU is for you!

I have a Malolo, so when I took this out, I set it up next to it, and it was very similar to the shape of the Malolo. But it is much stiffer and just as fun on a Powder Day! If you are looking for the shape of the Malolo, but a stiffer flex, this is your board!

This hat is great! If you are trudging up the trail, the sweat band in this keeps the drip out of your eyes and your sunglasses! And if it decides to downpour on you, the breathable Precip will keep you dry and your head warm. Great design for us mountain marmots!

This is a really comfortable and supportive shoe from Keen. They are great to wear for casual use and they were great at the beach in Seaside, Oregon. Cant wait to use them in Southern Utah this summer for some desert hiking. Once again another winner from Keen!

I know what you are thinking, oh Shaun White, whatever- this helmet rocks! I have been riding for a while and have never owned a helmet. but after seeing so many head injuries, And bumping my head i decided to start sporting one to boost my confidence. Not only did I feel a lot stronger riding, I took a pretty nasty fall on Millicent at Brighton and hit my head, and was able to get right up with no head injury! This has a great set up inside to fit your head, and it also has a goggle gasket for cold days. Can be worn with a skull cap or balaclava. It's chin strap is much better than I remember any of my skate helmets being. And this also converts to a skate or BMX helmet for the summer months. I give this an A++++ and thank you R.E.D. for making such great helmets.

As I live at the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon, it is October here and Alta has snow! So I hiked Alta on a sunny day and freed it for all of us riders! Used these goggles because they have a mirrored lens, and they were great on this sunny day! The hike was beautiful, and the ride down was sweet! No fogging and they did not get too hot for the hike. Can't wait till the season starts to give these a full day workout at the resort!

This board was incredible in any snow condition! I have the 160 LTD Edition and this board surpassed all expectations I had when I got it. The slimewalls dampen this board so much and the cleave Edge makes turning on ice like turning in powder! Hitting kickers in the park and natural terrain on this board is so much fun, and you feel like you have complete control of this board no matter what the situation. I even got to ride this on some powder days this year here in Utah and on Mt Hood and it just dominated! If you are looking for a board that will ride everything on the mountain, look no further, the Society is the board for you!

Riding in the spring here in Utah you can have really warm sunny days and it can turn winter all over again up at the Bird. This jacket was great on a blue bird pow day, warm slushy day and even a cold day it kept me warm and dry. This is 6,000 MM waterproof and really light too. Glad I picked this up for it made my spring riding great this year!

I wear a helmet when I ride, no brain injuries here, but when I am driving up to the resort, or putting on or taking off my gear, I slap this puppy on and I am toasty warm. It is really soft on your head, and gives you enough length to cover your ears. Plus I love the mountains, so Marmot it is!

I have had 2 pairs of these since they were originally introduced as Caballero's first signature shoe. They are a great fit, give you all the ankle protection you need from your nose or tail of your board, and not to mention they grip your grip tape and do not let your foot slip off and miss landings when popping huge ollies or pulling big tricks on vert. They are a great shoe, go with a classic, tried and true!

This jacket is good for warm days, stormy days, and all around use in winter sports. With the critical areas waterproof, and the Consoltex S3 softshell material, this is the best combo of waterproof/breathable you can get for a jacket. Two inside pockets and two hand pockets and this does come with RECCO. I have wanted one for a long time, I am glad I now own one.

This is extremely strong and light, durable and heat resistant. It works for spooning up those big bites of food, and if you need a fork, it handles that job like a champ as well. I have used this for 3 seasons now, and I would use nothing else. And the clip on the handle is great for drying when you are moving camp sites or to clip that to your cook set so you don't loose it. If you are tired of packing in those metal utensils that get too hot and seem to bend every time you wash them, get rid of them and get this one!

This is the perfect size to carry for 1-2 days in the woods where you don't have to worry about your fuel running out but you also do not have to pack the weight in with you either. Boils water fast, and you will have enough fuel to do a few meals and that ever so important coffee that we all love when getting started out there for the day. Great size fuel from MSR!

This stuff is really great on backpacking boots! I have a Gore-Tex boot and I cross a lot of water in them in the backcountry, and after treating my boots with this, my leather beaded up the water and the Gore liner was still able to breathe! Give your boots some extra protection while you are out trekking with this product!

This is a great set if you are heading into the backcountry for 2-4 days with dry goods or pasta or rice. Lightweight, stays clean and will last you along time.

This tent is a really roomy tent for a 2 man get up. It has a half dome of nylon and half dome of mesh, for those starry nights. The rain fly keeps you dry and wind proof and acts as a 4 ft vestibule on each door on this tent. At 4 lbs, this is ideal for backpacking when you need a little more room for 2. Easy pitch and breakdown, this is a great design!

It jumped to really hot temps here in the Wasatch in April. Dropping runs off Hidden Peak in a T-Shirt in April tells you how hot we got. Well I was tired of being soaked when hitting the plaza for a drink after riding. This is made of Coolmax, a quick drying moisture wicking fabric that is for this very reason. I am none the less please with this skull cap. I am sure for biking or any activity that requires a helmet, this would be the perfect liner to get!

These shorts are really comfortable. They are quick dry and they have a nice side cut in the fabric more functionality. The gusseted crouch on these is the best I have used on the trail. Two hand pockets and two thigh zip pockets on these shorts as well as a nice built in waist belt that is really convenient to adjust depending on your waist size. These shorts are trail worthy!

I picked these up along with a Society LTD Edition 160 and this is the set up! These are super responsive, they are comfortable as hell, and they are light for how stiff they are. Made of aluminum, these transfer zero noise from the hill, and the convertible toe strap is so comfortable and puts your heel all the way back in the binding. If you slept on these bindings you are not having a great season!
