The North Face can be considered a pretty progressive company especially with recent innovations such as FlashDry and ThermoBall which you can read more about in our reviews of The North Face ThermoBall Hoodie and FlashDry base layers. Not one to rest on their laurels, The North Face has developed an entirely new line of clothing dedicated to helping you train for your outdoor passion, be it climbing, running or even skiing. This new line is dubbed “Mountain Athletics” and is tied to an online training program that is custom built for you directly from The North Face’s web site. The idea behind the Mountain Athletics training program is that you set your goals, train for them and ultimately reach them. For backcountry skiers this program gives you a resource for keeping in shape over the off-season and ultimately being much more fit for when the snow accumulates in the fall.
