Here’s your chance to tell everyone about everything and anything to do with backcountry skiing. Follow the simple steps to register and WHAMMY, you’re in. If you are pulling your hair out with frustration, have a look at the help forums for answers or take a pause and drop us an email at: info@backcountryskiingcanada.com. We’ll do our best to help out as soon as we can (but all bets are off on a powder day, obviously).
My favorite piece of gear is definitly my Igneous fish – Igneous is a Jackson Hole based company that makes custom skis and snowboards, they will pretty much build you anything you can dream up.. so I came up with what I hoped to be my ideal powder board. Short with a deep sidecut for agility, fat and heavily tapered with a cutout tail for float, and flat for speed. It's a dream in powder – floats better than anything i've ridden and turns on a dime, a very surfy board.
For the interested, specs on the board: 159cm, 7.5m sidecut and a 22mm taper, minimal camber of 2mm (mostly for skinning purposes), with a wide (322) and blunt early rise nose & flat fish tail. The camber/rocker transition point starts under the front binding. Progressive flex, stiff board with a soft nose.
