2015 Gear of the year Announced!
We take our gear pretty seriously here at Backcountry Skiing Canada, so its a pretty big deal for a product to be awarded our coveted "Gear of the Year". This honour is bestowed upon five products we feel perform flawlessly in the field, are innovative, posses well thought out design and generally just make us say "wow".
