Montarace High Speed

One of Montana's two race skins, these beauties focus more on durability than on glide

In words

Intro
This is one of Montana's two race skins, as you can tell from the checkered flags (I'd buy these just for that, they look really cool). This yellow pair is the heavier of the two. In actual fact, though, neither these nor their pink siblings are the fastest-gliding race skins because of all the mohair they have. But this does make them more durable. Because of this, they could make good training skins, to be used for longer than your pure-racing pair, even though their performance is lower (but only slightly) than the Super Glide skins.

Intro
Safety, a culture of doubt

Beyond the basic definition, there’s nothing as variable as snow conditions and the human psyche when under emotional stress. That's why, after purchasing the right self-rescue kit and airbag backpack, it’s paramount you do your research, train, scrutinize your decisions and, if necessary, opt for plan B. And, at least for now, don’t rely on artificial intelligence.

Intro
Products for mountaineers

Once you’ve chosen your skis, boots and bindings, your thoughts then turn to harnesses, crampons, ice axe and helmet, though perhaps not everyone, and not straight away. While it’s true that when starting out, especially for those transitioning from resort skiing who just want to start surfing some pow, the important thing is to get self-rescue equipment. It’s equally true, however, that the sport we love is a combination of two words: skiing and mountaineering.

Split All Mountain
Intro
Boards, boots, and bindings for splitboarding

Materials are evolving, which is increasing the opportunities for pushing the boundaries of mountaineering splitboarding. It’s no longer just about easy tours, a few jumps and a beer. Thanks to innovative new setups and growing knowledge within the community, long ascents and steep terrain no longer intimidate.
