    GripWalk Hangover

    Background- I’ve been an adamant supporter of GripWalk as a benefit to the industry and a major advancement in ski technology. I’ve been skiing on it for the last three seasons. Current scene- after testing the most recent iteration of “racerish” GripWalk clamps, I have come to the conclusion...

    Somewhere in the near future I will need new boots. I ski both in the resorts (Europe) on groomers, but more and more I venture off-piste and alpine touring is also in my future. I tried some skinning with my current alpine boots (Fischer RC4 The Curv 130) in frame bindings this season: not a...

    The New Sole of Skiing: Part 2

As was discussed in The New Sole of Skiing?, it is reminiscent of the old VHS-Betamax and Blu-ray-HD DVD wars: it will come down not to what is the best design, but to who...
