My Skiing

I spend most of my ski days in the Wasatch backcountry. I love all types of skiing, from lapping powder to technical chuting, becoming the sixth person to ski all the lines in the Chuting Gallery. From the earliest snow till the last drop, let's ski!

My Gear

I'm fortunate enough to have several setups and access to even more.
I've been using the Ski Trab Magico.2 with Titan Vario bindings a ton. Often with Alien RS or Fischer Travers Carbon boots. Love the Movement AlpTracks 100s in powder and chunder. Race Pro 85s are for long distance and I race on the Aski Stealth, now with Grizzly bindings.

Hi Brendan, yes, we like to test skis before deciding whether to carry them. I have not read the reviews, but these would be class-leading in carving ability imo...right up there with the OG Alp Tracks 106 (the current version is less of a carver). Very stable and fun on edge...a Head ski. On the flip side, Crux is relatively stiff and doesn't have much rocker so they end up being less floaty than the others. The Zero G 105 is a closer comparison ski than the others you mention; I felt the Helio didn't exce...

Hi Noel, I just double-checked the files. They are for the Oazo with 26.5x30 toes and 25x55 heels. You do need to print them at the correct scale.

Hi Claudia, we don't have the K2 153 in stock to test but that should work. There are a couple cm of wiggle room on either side of the length range.

Hi Michael, we have several skis that might fit the bill! Best to email help@skimo.co for a personalized recommendation so we can dive into your size, ski style, etc.

Hi Michael, that is a goal of many ski designers! This one scores pretty well on those metrics. Maybe not *the* easiest ski, but it's a good balance mixed with its performance. A lot can depend on your ski style of course.

Grrr Couloir

Managed to catch the Grrr with some fresh snow on a beautiful day. Amazing! This was just as our snowpack was starting to heal after a long, unstable early season. Clouds came and went but it was glorious, especially after waiting for so long to ski anything steep this season.

Mt Superior - South Face

I typically ski the south face a handful of times per season. This photo is from the 2019/20 season, just after an epic avalanche cycle. In fact, the road below superior was closed on this day and we skinned up the middle of the road back to the car. There was a backcountry closure in t...
