For those that recreate in the lofty mountains of Summit County, variable conditions involving both powder and hard pack snow exposed rock and wild grasses, dense thickets of pine and expansive alpine tundra, are seemingly the norm. Utilizing the correct…

ProView – Native Backbowl Goggles

March 2, 2018April 19, 2018Mountaineering, ProView Gear Reviews, Skiing dbdadmin Leave a Comment on ProView – Native Backbowl Goggles

To explain my appreciation for the design of Native Eyewear’s Backbowl Goggles, I have to explain a little bit of my history working in the ski industry. I began my “career” down under at New Zealand’s Cardrona Alpine Resort (also…

The Magic of Opening Day- Dirtbag Dream Adventures

“You’ve been punked!” scoffed the text, snarky in its confidence. “Steamboat never opens early…” “They have lease guidelines with the forest service to be open an exact number in any given season,” explained another. “It hasn’t happened in all the years…

  • This is Basho the 🐐 and gear tester, David (@dav1d.hanks). ⁣
⁣
Basho lives with David's good friend, Chris (@thegoatspath). Chris and his wife started acquiring goats on a dairy farm in the Castle Valley area. They now have 14 goats that they keep on their land, where they live in an off-grid bus (and have for the last 8 years). ⁣
⁣
Chris takes his goats for hikes every day. He's training them to be pack goats so he can haul production equipment for shoots in remote locations, and eventually haul climbing gear for climbs in the Castleton area. ⁣
⁣
David went to visit Basho and the rest of his friends while testing the @ortovox Zebru jacket. He says it's his new go-to for any cold day situation. Review coming soon! | 📸: @thegoatspath #Dirtbagdreams⁣

  • Lindsay (@wanderlinds_) is always breaking out the ice tools and hunting ice. And as the newest member of the USA Ice Climbing Team, she's pretty used to the many different temperatures your body experiences in a day.  Let's just say, having her layers dialed is essential. ⁣
⁣
So we sent her the Ortovox Piz Duleda jacket to test - a breathable layer with intelligent temperature management -  this jacket shines when you're working hard in the alpine. And Lindsay knows all about working hard in the alpine. ⁣
