Today is my last day at the trade show and I’m headed back to Jackson. With 36” of new snow in the past couple days and 4-6’ avalanche crowns being reported, the drive should be interesting.

by November 22nd, 2010Though I’ve been happy with and using the Dynafit binding offerings for the last 15 years or so, it’s still cool that one of my favorite companies, La Sportiva, will start distributing a new “tech” binding starting this December.

Summer 2010 Outdoor Retailer Day One
by August 4th, 2010Just a quick blast from day one at the Outdoor Retailer Tradeshow. There are a few skiing specific things down here, but not anything major…at least what I’m allowed to talk about.

Outdoor Retailer Prestoke: La Sportiva Goes Green!
by July 10th, 2009About a month ago, I was doing some spring cleaning and ended up tossing about 15 pairs of running and hiking shoes into the dumpster. Yeah, some were pretty trashed, but others were still in pretty good shape, but the cushioning had been worked over from miles and miles on the trail. It bugged me [...]
Trail Running With The La Sportiva Wildcat
by June 15th, 2009La Sportiva Wildcat. It’s getting to be that time of year again…what I call “transition season”. Basically its’ the time between spring…and winter. Some people refer to it as summer, but I’m allergic to that word, so I made my own season…transition season. As the snow quickly disappears and grey clouds fill the sky, I’ve [...]
