Stockli has lightened and softened their Stormriders while maintaining the amazing solid feel and confidence that only a Stockli can deliver. The Stormrider 95 […]
I think I may vacuum my boots more than I vacuum at home! A few years ago, I was lucky enough to be one of the first “civilians” to get a pair of Fischer Vacuum boots made for me. I flew to Salt Lake City and the Fischer Race support guru molded my boots. He […]
The Rustler 9 is a go-to all-mountain ski. Known for its combination of technical performance and versatility all over the mountain, at 94 mm underfoot, it’s tuned for frontside skiing—bumps, groomers, skier cross, you name it – it can do it.

We are now selling cross country skis. Snowshoes too! We have been renting both items for a few years now. The snowshoes are basic winter gear. Nordic skiing is a whole new sport. We had never dabbled in Nordic skiing other than as individuals on our day off, but the demand (based on phone inquiries) seemed to […]
We recently featured the top selling Men’s ski of 2019/20. This post is about a ski that sold more than twice as many pairs! The Black Pearl 88 from Blizzard was the overall ski sales leader and has been for several years now. How has the Black Pearl stayed on top? The first Black Pearl […]
