Product Reviews
December 17, 2011: Marmot Alpinist Pant
Marmot Alpinist Pant
The breathability and functionality of the alpinist pant is un-matched as far as I can tell. Either on the lift at the Ghee in below 0 temps or touring deep in the Tetons, these pants have kept me warm, dry, and comfortable! I have skied about 40 days in the Alpinist Pant thus far and look forward to many more.

Scarpa Mobe
The Mobe truly is my new favorite everyday boot. I have logged about 50 days in it at this point, 30 days of ski patrolling 10 hours a day, and about 20 days of skiing in the resort & backcountry. The ease and durability of the walk mode is un-matchable and very practical for everyday use. I have skinned, boot packed, and skied thousands of feet a day with comfort, function, durability, and support through every foot. I ski this boot on some large & stiff skis such as the Volkl Katana & Kuro, and have skied any and all types of terrain with them…..including 50+foot airs. This is now my go to ski boot!!!!

Marmot Backcountry 30
This pack has quickly become my choice for backcountry travel as well as working ski patrol. The stiff back support for all day use, easy access shovel/probe/tool compartment, plenty of storage space, skin pocket, and diagonal ski carry system really are just the beginning of useful attributes included in this pack. In my experience, packs of this storage capacity usually seem to significantly shift your center of gravity when filled, creating swing wait, but this pack distributes the load quite well throughout your upper body and torso. I definitely recommend this pack to full day backcountry enthusiasts.

Scarpa Hurricane
What a boot of performance! The Hurricane has raised the bar on non-race stock, performance ski boots. I have personally tested this boot in high angle, big air, high speed situations that in the past have required a “race stock” ski boot. A stiffness/flex of 120 and utilizing the 4 buckle system, this boot feels to be a nice hybrid of a high performance race stock boot and a touring boot.

Marmot Spire Jacket
I have been wearing this jacket pretty much exclusively so far this season and am diggin it. The hard-shell design lets you layer accordingly underneath while protecting you from the elements. The larger hood design allows for the hood to be warn over a helmet without limiting your mobility.
