Headed out early this morning with Anna and Josee to do the Dolomite Circuit. We ended up doing a highline through the Dolomite Glacier area instead of taking the regular lowline route. After parking the second car we bumped up […]

Going into the 18/19 season I really wanted to switch up my boots. The last 3 boots I’ve owned were Scarpa Maestrale RS and although the model served me well for many years, I was very disapointed by the 17/18 […]
