Regardless of the hype, there’s something about getting out of your comfort zone and skiing somewhere bigger-than-life. Many times I dream of going back in time and skiing the little areas, like Alpental, WA, where I learned to ski. Or, someplace like Anthony Lakes, OR just because it’s there. Other times, I dream of the mega-resorts I’ve yet to ski like Aspen and Vail or Squaw and Mammoth.

The cool thing about dreaming about and then actually skiing at one of these resorts is that the memory stays with you forever. I’ll never forget the wide-open bowls of Blackcomb and the bottomless pow of Telluride. Likewise, I’ll never forget riding in the old tram at Jackson Hole with the late Doug Coombs and the chest-deep powder at Grand Targhee. Not to mention the killer days as a youth ripping it up at Crystal Mountain, Mt. Baker or Mt. Hood Meadows.

Putting aside all the great days I’ve had at many Utah resorts, I’m still searching Northward. Right now, my fixation is with the Northern Rockies of the US and Canada–Red Mountain, Kicking Horse, Fernie and others–all epic skiing wonderlands. But, I’m thinking Stateside still and just a bit South of the border… Big Sky, Montana.

Why Big Sky, Montana?

Well, just one look at Lone Peak and you’ll be drawn in too. Rugged, untamed and unknown (at least to me), Big Sky is huge when combined with Moonlight Basin at 5,512 skiable acres. And, with over 400-inches of annual snowfall (not quite as much as Alta, but close) and 4,350 vertical feet in this remote mountain location seems like the perfect combination of steeps and untracked powder.

But, compared to the mountains to my back, access to Big Sky is far from easy. The drive looks to be about 9 hours from my home in Cedar Hills, Utah–even a flight into Bozeman still leaves you with an hour-and-a-half drive to the slopes (all this according to Google Maps, which, based on the comments below, now seems a bit off).

In spite of the distance and remote-ness… there’s no question that when my mind wanders to the unknown and mythical on my list of un-skied resorts, Big Sky, Montana will rise to the top. Someday… someday…

What resort is tops on your “must ski” list?

Sheets of light-density snow blanket the mountains before an epic powder day. Solid ice has finally formed on a classic mixed line that rarely exists. The suffocating deluge that has kept a climbing team holed up in their tent for five days at 20,478 feet has abated, giving way to a welcoming ridge of high pressure for the first ascent summit push.

It’s game on. It’s time to thrive in your element. You need Stoic.

Stoic is a new line of premium technical gear that has captured, cultured and distilled mountain adventure into everlasting bomber apparel.

Every feature, fabric and construction method is tried and thoroughly tested not only by human hands, but by the terrain and conditions that surround us, and the community of alpinists who share and stoke our drive.

“Stoic is made for people whose gear and skills are tested by alpine terrain and conditions,” says Bill Hartlieb, Stoic Brand Manager. “We built this line with the innovation of welded construction and weather-protecting materials, and an ideal synergy of weight, function and durability to provide maximum comfort and performance when you’re charging in the mountains.”

Welder Collection: Softshell & Gloves

And for your digits, the softshell Welder Glove features fused dynamism with superior dexterity, welded technology and a wool liner that means warmth and comfort for your hands.

Ladies Bombshell Pant

For the ladies, both in- and out-of-bounds, the Bombshell Insulated Ski Pant uses the same comfy flat welded seams and just the right amount of Cirrus insulation on the legs. The adjustable waist pants combine inbounds fashion and side- or backcountry function.

By sorta, I mean it’s a singlespeed, it’s a 29er, it’s Reynolds steel and it’s also a Norco, so not really mainstream in the States, but for a manufacturer as large as Norco to introduce their dealers and aficionados to the Gates Belt Drive, this is a big deal. While singlespeeds are appealing and fun, I’ve yet to spend much time on one, but this just might be my chance.

The thought of a simple drivetrain without shifters, chain grease and gear mashing sounds great until the trails get really steep at which point images of the pain cave come to mind. But, I’ll let you be the judge. Is the Norco Judan 29er belt-driven singlespeed hype-worthy?

About the Jetboil Flash PCS

Starting in 2001, Jetboil changed the backpacking stove game though simplification, engineering smarts and a bit of luck. Why nobody had thought of a lightning-fast and stupid-simple water boiler is beyond me, but Jetboil is glad to ride atop that wave. New for 2009, Jetboil made a handful of improvements to their much-heralded stove design.

The New Jetboil Flash PCS Stove

Improvements to the burner and cup keep things secure and the heat indicator outside the insulating cozy makes for quick visual temperature control. Add on top of that a new transparent drink-thru lid and the new Flash PCS is even better than the original.

• 1.0 Liter FluxRing® cooking cup with insulating cozy, featuring Flash color-change heat indicator
• Adjustable stainless steel burner with push-button “through-cup” igniter
• Drink-through lid and insulating bottom cover/measuring cup
• Tripod base for added stability
• Available in Gold, Violet, Sapphire (tested) and Carbon
• Rated to 20°F
• Boil time: 1 min/cup
• Fuel capacity: 12 Liters per 100g Jetpower canister
• Total Volume: 32 oz. – w/16 oz (2 Cup) boil capacity
• Weight: 14 oz.
• MSRP: $99.95

Jetboil Flash PCS Stove Review

Specialization and simplicity are the hallmarks of excellent products and that definitely describes the new Jetboil Flash cooking system. I took the Flash with me on a trip to Arches National Park outside Moab, UT a few weeks ago to put it through its paces. While there, we had a variety of weather to deal with, which made for an excellent test-bed for this little stove.

Backpacking and camping for me is about simplicity and the Jetboil system is as simple as it gets–pour in 2 cups, ignite and in 2 minutes, you’ve got boiling water for dehydrated meals, soups and hot drinks. If its just you, then dig in right there or sip away at the drink-thru lid or if you’re sharing with others, a quick grab of the insulated cooking cup allows you to pour with confidence.

The Jetboil system is flat-out awesome for boiling water. It’s lightweight enough to haul around on backcountry ski trips (see below in the Oquirrh Mountains, Utah with the original PCS) or long-distance backpacking yet equally at home in an emergency kit or in your trunk “just in case”.

Hot Soup at 10,000 ft. in Utah's Oquirrh Mountains - Original Jetboil

As mentioned, our trip to Arches was met with inclement weather–cool rain and wind. I found the Flash to perform well until the wind picked up to a steady pace. At first, I thought I just couldn’t see the flame, but upon closer inspection, the wind had blown it completely out. In windy conditions, I’d suggest making a natural wind screen or shielding it better with your body.

I found the function and storage of the new Flash to be very convenient. Everything packs up and stores in a Nalgene-sized form-factor. Screwing the fuel canister off/on is easy and igniting is a cinch.

Good Flash PCS

• Boils water microwave-fast
• Super simple to operate
• Compact, all-in-one stove and pot
• Built-in ignitor
• Lightweight and packable
• Accessories can expand to a group cooking system, frying pan, coffee press and more
• Color indicator is helpful–especially when you don’t want a full boil
• Fuel adjustment even easier with extended handle

Bad Flash PCS

• Strong winds give it fits
• Not suitable for extra-cold temps
• 2 cups is all
• It just boils water out-of-the-box (I think that’s a good thing, but some may scoff)

Bottom Line: Jetboil Flash PCS Stove Review

The updated Flash PCS adds refinement to an already-outstanding personal cooking system. It’s super-simple to operate and the color-change boil indicator combined with translucent top make things even better. If you are like me and insist on simplicity when venturing into the backcountry, this is the one to have.

Petzl Tikka XP2 Review

The XP2 is the brightest of Petzl’s Tikka series of compact headlamps. Compared to its predecessor, the XP2 is brighter (60 lumens vs 40) and shines farther (60m vs 35), in a package that is 7g lighter – so the performance upgrades are apparent right off the bat.

top view; single multi-function button

Petzl improved the ergonomics with a single multi-function button on the top casing, and a hinged battery compartment that’s much easier to open and close than the previous model. Other new features include a red LED with optional blinking mode to help preserve night vision, and an emergency whistle integrated into the headband. The battery charge indicator has been moved from the side of the older XP model to the front of the XP2.

L to R: battery indicator, white LED in spot mode, red LED bulb

Switching from spot mode to flood mode is as easy as flipping the diffuser up or down. Toggling between brightness modes (high-low-flashing-off) or changing from red to white light mode is easily done via the single top button. Water resistance is rated IPX4, so the lamp shines normally even in a driving rainstorm. This lamp is also compatible with Petzl’s Adapt2 system (not included), which allows you to attach the light elsewhere when it’s not strapped around your head.

The Tikka XP2’s strength is in providing an even distribution of light throughout your field of vision from a single high-output LED. The ratcheted tilt mechanism targets the light exactly where you need it, and holds the angle firmly in place even with heavy activity. Its candle power is ideal for running on wide trails or fire roads, but somewhat lacking for navigating extremely technical trails in the dark.

side view with forward tilt

Good Tikka XP2

• Compact size – small enough to tuck in a pocket on the run
• Even distribution of light through wide field of vision
• Reliable in inclement weather
• Much improved ergonomics

Bad Tikka XP2

• Headband can’t be detached from lamp casing, which makes washing a challenge.
• Brightness slightly inadequate for highly technical trails
• Higher retail price than other lamps in this category

Bottom Line: Petzl Tikka XP2 Headlamp

The Petzl Tikka XP2 is a noticeable improvement on what was already a very solid little headlamp. It makes a valuable, dependable companion if you’re logging a lot of mileage in the dark.

This time, Sharon and Lee sound off on the Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) Fusion Softshell Hoodie and Pants. If you live South of the Canadian border, you may not be aware of MEC, but they are essentially the equivalent of REI for our Canadian brethren. The review follows a “he said, she said” format with two perspectives and thoughts on this jacket. ~Jason Mitchell, Editor

Sharon’s Review: MEC Women’s Fusion Softshell Hoodie and Pants

As an avid backcountry skier who gets cold pretty easily and overheats easily as well its hard to find a piece of clothing able to accommodate a wide temperature range. Softshell clothing is one of the best options for high output activities when its not raining. Having worn a variety of Polartec® Power Shield® in the Arcteryx Gamma MX, and OR Solitude for example. I have found all these jackets to provide great warmth, wind resistance and snow shedding capabilities. Where the MEC Fusion jacket outperforms is in its ability to wick away sweat and dry very quickly. This is pretty important after a long skin up when you will sweat and tend to cool quickly if you are still wet from sweat. The Fusion Jacket and Pant dried very quickly.

The temperature range of these garments was quite wide. I could wear the pants from zero (32 F) to -15 (5 F) degrees Celsius with no under layer. Below -15 I would wear a light merino layer and I was very cosy. The jacket was also very warm to -15 and I only had to put on a Gortex jacket in high winds and temperatures less than -15. The jacket was also very useful around town up to 10oC when it wasn’t raining.

The pants have two side hip pockets and one side leg pocket. The leg pocket is convenient to store a map, thermometer or camera. I did find the pockets quite tight, but due to the stretchiness of the fabric I could put most items in them.

The pants have an inner cuff which is great to keep snow out of your boots. They also added considerable warmth to the pant. On warm days I could lift the outer pant up to my knees and keep the cuffs over my boots to vent and prevent snow from going into my boots.

The jacket has two long chest pockets which double as vents, and an arm pocket for small items. If you are skinning up and getting warm, you open up these pockets to let more wind in. This negated the usefulness of the pockets to store items. The pockets are big and you can put a lot of items in them, which is good but loose items will settle to the bottom.

The hood on the jacket was quite big and could easily fit over a helmet. This was trouble some on some days when I didn’t wear a helmet, the brim would go over my eyes when skinning up. Pulling the cord in the back of the hood tighter would remedy this but then the hood would be tight. The jacket arms were quite long which was good to ensure they would cover my gloves or be easily covered by overgloves during descents. The velcro cuff strap was useful to keep the arms up if needed. The jacket was a good length to pull down to my hips for added warmth and to keep snow out of my waist.

Lee’s Review: MEC Men’s Fusion Softshell Hoodie Jacket and Pants

I stay a good deal warmer then Sharon. I’m often one or two layers less then her in almost every temperature variation. Curiously I also don’t overheat too easily so am able to pick a layered system of clothing and stick with it almost the entire day. I agree that the temperature range of the Fusion softshell jacket and pants is incredibly wide. I was often able to keep the jacket on while skinning up and did not have to bother putting on a hardshell for the ski down. I only layered up if I was taking breaks.

I felt the same way about the Fusion pants. For me, they are on the warm side so I was often able to use the pants without much more then thin long underwear for temps as low as -10 C. If it dipped below that temperature I’d opt for a thicker base layer.

Here are some additional random comments:

• I couldn’t use either the jacket or pants much for spring touring. Again, I stay extraordinarily warm. They’re both a bit much in terms of warmth for spring conditions (i.e. think sunny glaciers with temps above 5 to 10 C)
• I found the water repellency of both the jacket and pants to be more than adequate. I never found snow to penetrate the DWR (Durable Water Resistance) of either the jacket or pants–it would stay on the surface. There are some pants that get snow-soaked and result in “soggy-bum syndrome”–the Fusion is not one of those pants. I had to ride in a torrential downpour to find out that the Fusion jacket is truly “water-resistant” and not water-proof.
• I’d like the Fusion pants leg hip pocket to be a bit bigger. The zip should also zip up. If you stick something in the hip pocket that doesn’t quite fit so you can’t close the zip (eg a VHF radio with antenna) you’d be constantly worried that it would fall out. I’d like two hip pockets as I almost never used the waist pockets (see next part for reasons why)
• It’s tough to access the two waist pockets on the Fusion pants while wearing a climbing harness. It’d be nice to somehow redesign the zips so you can easily operate them one-handed. Perhaps put them on a bit of a slant?
• I am at a loss to find a fault with the jacket. It’s really well-constructed and well-thought out; long enough that snow didn’t creep under; well cut so you could move easily while wearing it; it even is a nice colour for pictures. Perhaps it’s cut a little more roomy then necessary in size Medium but then I liked being able to stuff climbing skins and/or other things I needed to keep warm under the jacket while I was engaging in activity so that’s really nit-picking.

MEC Fusion Softshell Hoody and Pants He said, She Said Review

Pros:

• Warm, wind resistant, dries fast
• Long arms and waist could stretch for added coverage
• Broad temperature range

Cons:

• Jacket chest pockets were less functional when used for venting
• Pant waist pockets weren’t terribly useful
• Large jacket hood would cover eyes when not using a helmet

K2 SideStash

While they do make a fatter skis in their Backside category (K2 DarkSide), the SideStash seems to have an excellent combination of sidecut, girth, lightweight and yes, indeed… a rockered tip. It appears this ski could flourish at a myriad of Western resorts that pile it high and deep, but it’s also built with backcountry-friendly features as well. A flat tail offers utility in the backcountry and is definitely welcomed in my book. This ski has more awards on the shelf than should be possible: Outside, Skiing and Powder all dig it. Visit K2Skis.com.

Performance: Soft Snow 80% Variable Snow 20%

MSRP: $950

Bluehouse Maestro

A rockered tip and tail, the all-new Maestro was my companion on a great, but bitterly-cold powder day at Alta last year. I was amazed at the float and versatility these skis provided–so much so that I’ll have a pair at my disposal this year and will bring you my detailed thoughts on this ski. I’m interested to see how well these tour with the rockered tip/tail, but we’ll see. Visit BluehouseSkis.com.

Performance: Big mountain

Core: High density Stabilite™ wood
Weight (pair): 4600g
MSRP: $749 ($374.50 right now)

Black Diamond Justice

Billed as the “everyman” version of the much-heralded Megawatt, the Justice is more of an all-mountain cut with BD’s signature rockered tip. It should prove to be more versatile than the Mega with 115mm underfoot and a little bit more sidecut yet still essentially a flat-camber ski for smooth soft-snow performance. Me likie and so does Outside Mag who awarded it “Gear of the Year”. Still may not be the best option for tree skiing though. Visit BlackDiamondEquipment.com.

Weight: 4300g (185 cm) or 4100g (175 cm)
MSRP: $729

Volkl Nanuq

Not nearly as fat as the others on this list, but lightweight and versatile are both excellent attributes for a fine backcountry ski. The Nanuq is built from the original Mantra mold, but lightened up for efficiency. 95mm waist isn’t skinny, but it’s not burgeoning either. Combine all that with classic Volkl edge-grip and sheer power, the Nanuq might be the perfect “one ski quiver” for in and out of the resort. Visit Volkl.com.

MSRP: $729

Surface Live Life

A small Utah company with a ton of style and a slew of innovative ski designs–Surface Skis re-designed the Live Life for this season by adding a few centimeters to the length and refining the early-rise tip. This ski looks great on paper and I hope to give it a whirl on the slopes this year when it’s high and deep. Definitely the best bargain of the bunch. Visit SurfaceSkis.com.

About the Ryders Treviso Photochromic Sunglasses

Built as a versatile pair of athletic sunglasses with wraparound cycling styling, the Treviso photochromic adds on top of that the ability for “one lens to rule them all”. While many other manufacturers tout the interchangeable lens technology (face it, you typically choose one lens and stick the others in a closet somewhere), the Treviso’s photochromic lens can vary between 15 and 45% visual light transmission (VLT) without you even doing a thing. Add on top of that the flexible earpieces, lens vents and these glasses have a lot going for them.

• Frame: Metallic Silver/Black (tested) or Grey
• Features: Duraflex frame, vented lenses, adjustable nose and temple tips
• Lens: Photochromic Grey or Brown (15-45% VLT) or Orange (18-45% VLT)
• Photochromic Tint: 15-45%
• MSRP: $69.99

Ryders Treviso Photochromic Sunglasses Review

When I got my hands on the Treviso, I was immediately impressed with the features, styling and function. I think the thing that caught my attention the most is the adjustable fit. While many other sunglasses offer a “one fit” system that oftentimes doesn’t, these glasses feature rubberized adjustable temple tips and nose pieces to adjust to the differing needs of each individual face and usage.

Where this becomes particularly useful is when these glasses are used for a variety of athletic activities with or without helmets, hats or visors. Standard, rigid temple pieces can get in the way of bike helmets (my Giro Xen helmet interferes with many other sunglasses) or visors–thus limiting compatibility. But, with the adjustable temple tips (think Gumby), a quick adjustment can accommodate a variety of headwear options.

Not only was I impressed with these glasses for mountain biking and trail running, but they are a great option for road biking and any other athletic pursuits to boot. They stayed put and never interfered with helmet or visor comfort or fit.

The photochromic lenses are also a great feature of these glasses. As a test, I removed my glasses from the dark and into full sunlight. You can visibly watch them transform from 45% VLT to 15% VLT in a matter of 20-30 seconds. While you’re wearing them, they will never go from that extreme to the other, but just know that the lens tint is constantly adjusting on-the-fly to give you the best visibility. Because of that, I was able to wear these glasses in a variety of conditions without feeling like the lens was either too dark or too light.

The only real gripe I’ve got with these is that the paint is wearing thin on the arm pieces above the logo. Other than that, the styling is pretty solid and you’re getting a versatile pair of sunglasses for a great price.

Good Treviso

• Love the flexible arms
• Adjustable nose piece
• Photochromic lens adjusts quickly
• Comfortable for all-day
• Inexpensive
• Great optics

Bad Treviso

• Paint is rubbing off the frame
• Don’t have that brand-name zing

Bottom Line: Ryders Treviso Photochromic

The Ryders Treviso photochromic sunglasses are a great pair of sunglasses for cycling and running and would be an excellent choice for triathletes who need the adjustability that the flexible arm pieces provide. The fit is stellar and can be adjusted on-the-fly and the photochromic lenses are great for those of us who’d rather not swap out lenses all the time.
