Having the right tool for the right job is key. And it takes a lot of gear to travel safely and play in the mountains. I wish I had a trust fund to freely travel the world skiing on a whim, but I don’t. I rely heavily on the support of many brands that wanted to partner up to help my  projects come to life. I’ve been very fortunate to link up with companies that make great shit and that value what I do. With their support I’m allowed to continue on this path.

I’m proud to continue to work with the backcountry ski brand that I started with and have now skied on for over 10 years. It’s been incredible to watch Black Diamond grow and continue to innovate in the backcountry skiing and climbing worlds. They everything  from tents to gloves and almost everything in between to outfit my kit for day touring or expedition adventures.

My sunglasses of choice were Julbo even before I signed on to work with them. The lenses are top notch. And now having used the new Aerospace goggles I can’t see ever using anything else. This is going to sound like a sales pitch, but I’m seriously sold on these. The Aerospace will save you from fogging, they pop out from the frame to allow in air-flow which kicks all the moisture out! It’s simple and it works. I’ve even hiked with them on my face once because my glasses were fogging up too much.

I started in leather tele boots, but went to plastic Scarpa’s over 15 years ago and they continue to be the boot of choice for me. Fit is key and Scarpa has always fit like slippers. I rarely even get the boots thermafit they fit so well out of the box. Performance is even more important and they have combined great downhill performance with good range of motion for backcountry touring. I play in all snow conditions and use every width of ski from skimo race to fat powder rigs. Scarpa has the right boot to cover the entire gamut.
