Gear of the Year Announced
We here at Backcountry Skiing Canada take our gear pretty seriously, so when a product is awarded our coveted "Gear of the Year" it's a pretty big deal. This honour is bestowed upon the best six products we have reviewed over the course of the entire ski season.
The winning products have to perform flawlessly in the field, be innovative, posses well thought out design and generally just make us say "wow".
So without further delay, here are the winners of our 2013/2014 Gear of the Year Award:
