Andrea "Boom Boom" Bormida will be familiar to readers of Skialper, where he is a constant force on staff. From this season, we also got him involved in testing for our Light section of products. An alpine guide in Milan — but unmistakably from the Piedmont region — he's left his mark on quite a few steeps, and he also hasn't gone unnoticed on the Presena Glacier.

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.
Probably The most accurate ski test out there.
