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 Jesse, unfortunately adaptor plates to change mounting patterns aren't a thing.

Hi JaiJai, yes these are our verified weights using an average of roughly 5 pair per length.

Hi Joshua, I do not see a purchase from you to verify your warranty status. For carbon poles in general, the number one reason for mysterious breakages is having previously used the pole to knock snow off your skis, with blunt force strikes against hardened steel edges. Carbon fiber is notoriously weak to such impacts against the grain.

Hi Evan, fyi ATK has made some inline changes to the cable system to improve durability. We (or another ATK Service Hub) can service these for you under warranty.

Hi Aaron & CDB, With a pin line mount you will be 1-1.5cm forward of recommended but still within the reinforced mounting area. You would end up over 3cm ahead of balance point (Trabs are purposefully marked in front of this). Most Trab athletes use recommended, but a few go this far forward. Tradeoffs with a forward mount: 1. Downhill will be more optimized for hard snow vs soft. 2. Easier to change directions without a kick turn, but harder with a kick turn. Note it can be learned to do most turn...

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...
