Arva Tour 25 Switch Avalanche Airbag by BlueZone Sports — I like this airbag more than the BD UL one I had as the waist belt is thicker and easier to close, and the straps on the side allow me to strap a jacket there for the uphill in the event my pack is full. It fits well on my frame and the waist strap stays cinched when I ski.
Dynafit Women's Radical 97 W Skis With Bindings and Skins by Dynafit — These skis are 97 underfoot and I consider them to be an all around great ski. They perform well under most conditions, including technical terrain and powder. I'm also a fan of the skin tips as the placement is easier for me to remove the skins without taking my skis off (hello deeper snow). If the snow conditions are likely to be heavier or kinda punchy, then I would opt for a wider ski, but this is my all around fav.
TRAVERSE SKI POLES by Black Diamond — Adjustable, with a great lower padding that I use for the uphill side for skinning up. I also really like regular ski grips, as opposed to 'the long stick'. These are more durable than the z poles I used to have that broke on me in the most inconvenient backcountry locations.
Squad MAG by Smith Optics — Magnetic lenses are amazing! It's so easy to change these lenses. I have a small face so I go with the small size.
Fusion Uni S-700B Sock Set by Therm-ic
Ski touring boot Dynafit RADICAL PRO W BOOT (Royal Purple/Marine Blue) Women's by Dynafit — I have skied on these for a season and enjoy the 3 buckle boot for a better fit and performance over my Dynafit TLT6's.
Barryvox S by Mammut — I have used this beacon a couple years and really like the display and advanced option to have both digital and analog in play when searching. Mammut has come out with a new version, the Barryvox S2, and I look forward to trying that one out in the next couple weeks.
Raider 11 EVO Binding by ATK Bindings — I have these bindings in purple and there are other color options to choose from. I prefer having brakes and love these lightweight, easy to use bindings. Highly recommend.
Barryvox S2 Beacon by Mammut — The S2 is the new updated version of the S1. Smaller, lighter, high contrast display is easier to see with googles on.
Headwall 55 by Hyperlite Mountain Gear — I use this pack quite often. It's great when I'm guiding a non technical ski tour, want more layers, or am doing a bigger ski tour (like a multi day traverse). It's lightweight, the lid is adjustable with the volume you have in it, and I like having a separate compartment for the shovel and probe.
