Eric Kolb's Ski Gear & Expert Recommendations

    Erbear

    Denver, CO

    Doing dumb things is ok as long as you're with friends.

    You'll find me either making bread, whittling spoons, or skiing of course! I love all types of skiing, but have transitioned recently into only skiing backcountry in Colorado for the season to get away from the big megacorps that dominate the industry. I've skied every month for 24 months in a row so far and still going. I've been skiing all over and can't wait to share my recommendations and gear that I love!

    Discipline: Ski

    Specialty: Backcountry, Downhill Skiing

    Skiing Mt Elbert in CO. Skiing in Portillo, Chile. Skiing Turnagain Pass, Alaska.
