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 Seth, for what it's worth, I've been to the factory in Italy and can confirm what Ben explained.

However, the nod goes back to Trab in the retention category (the aforementioned elasticity helps), ...

Hi Amy, thanks for the feedback. This looks like perhaps the women's model? I will move the review there.

Hi lulian, make sure to grab some skin material when doing the tip rip instead of putting all the force on the bungee.

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...
