The Black Diamond Demon pack. 32L. After 3 seasons on constantly checking out my buddies pack, and thinking of times when the demon would be perfect, I got one! It's great, and handles everything from a full day of touring, to teaching avalanche courses, or ice or mixed climbing. I love the simplistic one-zip open, and the side straps to handle skis, a rope, or ice tools.
Black Diamond Fixed Length poles. With my full baptism over to alpine skiing, (ie. first ever Alpine skis, bindings, boots, spider pants and jacket), grin, I figured fixed length poles were part of the package as well! I had intended on using these at the resort but so far they have seemed to make it out on almost every tour! I took off the wrist straps and switched out the jingus baskets for some bigger powder baskets and BAM!
Even Roven can't take his eyes off the new BD fixed length poles!
Mammut Alpine underwear, 3/4 length. Mammut has combined Polyester Microfiber and Merino Wool to create, quite possibly, the greatest thing since dynafit bindings! (grin) I love these! The 3/4 length is perfect; they are the perfect addition to the Patagonia Alpine Guide pants!
Black Diamond Kilowatt Skis. BD says, "The Kilowatt is the Black Diamond, employee go-to ski, when conditions are uncertain". So far, no complaints from me! I have been using them all season: from Cat Skiing powder days, at Irwin, to long human powered tours. I went with the 185's and they're sweet!
Brooks range Scientist 35 Folding Snow Saw. I am a huge fan of the fact that it is super light weight, and folds down to half it's size. It’s perfect for those backcountry skiiers and snow scientist looking for the best snow saw on the market today!
