If you want to get really pricey, Hyperlite Mountain Gear released the Headwall 55 in collaboration with Cody Townsend. I know in the backpacking community they are held in high regard for quality and overall durability. It is quite expensive though! I have a Granite Gear pack that I am fond of, as ...

Sundre area here! I ski on my NATOs multiple times a week on farms, nearby leases, and wider hiking trails west of town. There is a ton of great XCD around the foothills and it keeps me sane in the wintertime when I can't fly fish or hike. We are so lucky to have Norseman in Calgary for our specifi...

Thank you for a good review.

You're welcome! I am looking forward to trying some different boots in the future to compare them

I am finally getting the hang of telemark turning, but the conditions have to just right for me to look anywhere near stab...

I think the NATO is a great option to go with. I started skiing them last year and they have been awesome in every situation that I have found myself in. They are a very stable ski, easy to navigate downhill sections with by either telemark turns or simply just snow plowing if the conditions are les...

I would put a plug in for Madshus Glittertind boots actually! I find mine very comfortable, fairly flexible for kick and glide, and light. They also have a ratcheting strap across the upper part of the boot that really locks the ankle and heel in when it's needed. It can be loosened or undone entire...
