How to Sandskate and Sandski

Black graphite wax glides well and leaves your bases clean. Thats because sand is made of static and impurities, which graphite wax is specifically designed to repel. It is the key that unlocks the magic of the dunes. Graphite wax makes soft sand p-tex friendly. Go on and pamper your gear with a gently exfoliating sandy spa treatment.

I’ve got to say I enjoyed talking to every guest....

A Road Trip To The Beartooths

She’s got some problems, but we’ve been through a lot. The pass is an ever climbing and winding grade up the side of steep crumbling mountains. A gorgeous pitch of summer snow laid down the mountain side nearly to a pull off on the switchbacks. It was a quiet morning when I got my first look at the ski area. A short but fairly steep face with two poma lifts for access....

Skilluminati present ODA... Latvia?!

Cover photo: Arturs Pavlovs. Location - Riga, Latvia. Skilluminati is a crew of skiers straight out of Latvia of all places. But you wouldn’t exactly call them well-known. And it is not, it has to be said, well known for its skiing. Historically there always have only been a few dozen people who are actively involved in freeskiing there. There are no mountains, no indoor slopes, and inconsistent snowfall. Which makes ODA all the more impressive....

Snowskating The A-BOWL-tionator

My God, it was magnificent! As a snowskate park, it was like something out of a dream. Chilling in the snow, rolling into larger than life skate ramps?...

In-Depth Review: 2021 Moment Meridian 107

One of the standouts when you first look at this ski is the funky tips. As with the other Moments I have tested, the edges were extremely sharp out of the package. If those are high on your priority list these skis most likely aren’t for you. That said you may want to keep reading if you are looking to deviate from your standard ski choices. The construction of this ski is pretty standard, a full sidewall with a tiny bit of semi-cap construction....
