Shokz OpenRun Pro Mini
Materials:
Most wireless earbuds fit in your ears and cut off exterior noise which can be a problem in urban environments or while running. This is where the Shokz Open Run Pro Mini headphones excel since they are Open-Ear headphones which use Bone Conduction Technology. That’s right, these wireless sports headphones allow for total awareness of your surroundings in a bud-free design that provides comfortable listening. Most sound is transmitted through the air to our eardrums, however, bone-conduction headphones transmit sound through vibrations on the bones of the head and jaw. The sounds from these headphones bypass the eardrum and relay sound directly to the inner ear so you can still hear your surroundings.
The OpenRun Pro Mini is the lightest headphones to date in the Shokz lineup and are engineered with outstanding sound, a long-lasting battery, and a Quick Charge capability. This new “Mini” version uses a 0.83-inch shorter band than their standard size, making it ideal for smaller head sizes and for those who prefer a more snug fit. Their IP67 rating makes them completely sweat and waterproof for intense workouts and harsh weather and their 8-hour Battery Life has a 10-minute Quick Charge for up to 1.5 hours of battery life. Controls include play, skip, pause, and back-a-track, you can enjoy music, calls, audiobooks, and podcasts all day long. Powered by patented 8th generation bone conduction, Bluetooth 5.1, and PremiumPitch™ 2.0+, OpenRun delivers clear sound, powerful volume, and a rich bass.

Features:
Merino wool is always the best choice when it comes to base layers thanks to the fabric’s ability to keep you warm when it's cold, and cool when it's warm, plus its built-in moisture wicking capabilities.

Ibex’s new Woolies Tech Long Sleeve 1/4 Zip is made from their proprietary Pro-Tech fabric which was designed for high aerobic activities in cool and cold conditions. At only 180gsm, it maintains incredible warmth for its weight without overheating. Ibex added nylon to their Pro-Tech fabric for durability and a touch of elastane to maintain its shape for days.

In expedition mode, the battery will last up to 40 days or 74 days with solar and when using all satellite systems and playing music you can expect up to 10 hours of battery life.

Blizzard Zero G 105 Skis
Features:
The Blizzard Zero G 105 Skis have long been our go-to dedicated backcountry ski here at Backcountry Skiing Canada and for good reason, they are crazy light and can ski literally anything. We think they’re so good that we even awarded them our prestigious Gear of the Year Award in 2019. Over the past three years, Blizzard has made this great ski even better with updated construction and new top sheet graphics. The 2023 skis use an updated 3D shape and a new Carbon Fibre inlaid glass fibre layer which Blizzard calls their Carbon Drive 2.0. The first generation Zero G skis were made with Blizzard’s first iteration of their “Carbon Drive” which is essentially a layer of unidirectional carbon fibre that extends from tip to tail. The current Zero G ski’s carbon layer extends from edge to edge with a large section in the tips and tails that then narrows in the middle of the ski. This new construction uses a 3D uni-directional carbon fibre frame consists of two layers of carbon fibre for torsional strength and optimal flex. Added to this is a lightweight paulownia wood core construction which helps reduce overall ski weight while providing the needed structure for performance in variable conditions. The carbon frame’s 3D geometry optimizes flex and torsional rigidity resulting in a high level of stability, edge grip and control.
The Blizzard Zero G 105 Skis have a longer radius sidecut which provides a longer contact surface with the snow and that enables the skis to be more forgiving, especially in variable snow. This is something that other skis in this lightweight category simply cannot do. We find the Blizzard Zero G 105 Skis to provide the best overall downhill performance in a very lightweight dedicated touring ski, so if you have a hardcore skier on your holiday list—these are the skis for them!
- Sandwich construction uses carbon fiber and a lightweight Paulownia wood core
- Carbon Drive 2.0 frame utilizes two layers of multi-directional carbon fiber for torsional strength and optimal flex
- Lite Core construction for maximum performance and weight reduction
- Long sidecut provides easy turning and handling on all types of terrain

- Rockered tip and tail with camber underfoot for hard and soft-snow performance

La Sportiva Vangaurd Boots

The cuff, shell, and sole all use an eco-friendly material derived from bio-based RNEW 1100 Castor Oil Seed Pebax which is good for the planet. You get a 130 flex that weighs in at well under 3kg so they kick ass on the skin track and the downhill. This is in part due to the innovative EZ-Flex double tongue has two different stiffnesses for uphill mobility and downhill performance.
La Sportiva has done away with their overlap and Cabrio designs of the past and has employed a new design in the Vanguard Boots which they call their V-Shape Cuff. This has a scissor-like opening in the cuff with the tongue then positioned over this and a second firmer outer cuff over that. La Sportiva calls this their EZ-Flex double tongue which is responsible for the impressive 63° range of motion in walk mode and stiff 130 flex in ski mode.
To keep your foot secure in the Vanguard Boots, La Sportiva uses a Double Release lower closure system that uses a durable/adjustable cable system which provides a wide coverage where two buckles would normally be found. This wire closure system reduces weight without sacrificing performance and is really compact in its design. The buckle’s double closure allows you to open the buckle once to release tension and provide more freedom in walk mode, or open the second release to provide more room for entry and exit of the boot.
The buckles found on the upper cuff of the Vanguard use a patented compact buckle design that keeps the buckle lever flush to the shell in walk mode, reducing external bulk. The lower of the two upper buckles uses an integrated cable system to effectively reduce weight while seating your heel back in the boot for better performance. The top buckle is affixed to the Twin Power Band which combines the upper buckle and Power Strap to again reduce weight and ensure comfort and precision.
Loaded with features and made for ski touring the new La Sportiva Vangaurd Boots are made for crushing vertical on both the up and down.
- The Vanguard cuff, shell and Vibram® V-Lug outsole are compliant with UNI EN ISO 9523 regulations
- Pebax shell and cuff are eco-friendly, derived from bio-based Rnew 1100 castor oil seeds with high resistance to low temps and excellent flexibility
- Ultralon performance foam liner is thermomoldable, has two flex zones and differentiated thicknesses
- The V-shape™ cuff with scissor construction makes fitting extremely fast and intuitive
- The EZ-Flex™ double tongue has two differing stiffnesses for uphill mobility and downhill skiing
- V-Guard Interfaces™ at the toe and heel are abrasion resistant zones derived from polyurethane (PU)
- Twin-PWR™ double band combines the upper buckle and power strap to ensure comfort and precision quickly and with ease
- EZ-Lock Closure System™ constructed of ergal and techno-polymer is quick to open/close with no mechanical parts
- Compact Buckle™ closure with micro-adjustment

Ortovox Avabag LiTRIC
Features:
Ortovox teamed up with Arc’teryx to develop their new LiTRIC Avabag technology which is lightweight, intuitive and reliable. Using a supercapacitor design with a lithium-ion battery means the LiTRIC Avabag system weighs only 2.4 pounds and can hold a charge for 60 hours with enough power for two full inflations when fully charged. Without the use of traditional air cartridges, the LiTRIC provides more usable space inside the packs, has no travel restrictions and means you don’t have to dispose of or refill cartridges.
The LiTRIC Airbag Technology is comprised of cold-tolerant supercapacitors and an ultra-lightweight airbag which helps to make it one of the lightest airbags on the market. The system can be tested unlimited times with no additional cost to the user as there is no cartridge and it is easily charged again at home via a USB-C connection. The LiTRIC is very easy to operate, simple to pack away and a convenient LED display on the side of the pack shows the charge status of the battery as well as its readiness for operation.
Ortovox has developed three versions of this Avabag the Avabag LiTRIC Tour which comes in a 28-litre short, 30-litre, 36-litre short, and 40-litre capacities. The Avabag LiTRIC Freeride comes in a 16-litre short, 18-litre, 26-litre short, and 28-litre sizes whereas the lightest option, the Avabag LiTRIC Zero comes only in a 27-litre size.
The Avabag LiTRIC Tour is a modular airbag base that comes in two back lengths (regular and short) and can be adapted for any use by zipping on a 28-litre short, 30-litre, 36-litre short, or 40-litre pack. The circumferential zipper offers quick access to the main compartment while skis, snowboards, ice axes, and ropes can be affixed to the exterior along with space for a helmet (thanks to the included helmet carry net) and climbing skins. There is also a separate avalanche rescue equipment compartment to keep things separate, organized and easy to reach when needed.
The Avabag LiTRIC Freeride is a little different from the Avabag LiTRIC Tour in that is can accommodate a 16-liter short, 18-liter, 26-liter short, and 28-liter pack. This modular FREERIDE LiTRIC airbag base can be used on the TOUR base and vice versa. The LiTRIC Freeride’s Clasp Back Technology offers a wide, flexible hip belt and soft shoulder straps while fitting snugly to the back, allowing for complete freedom of movement. FREERIDE LiTRIC is also compatible with ORTOVOX’s clasp spine protector, which can be purchased separately.
The Avabag LiTRIC Zero is the only version which does not utilize a modular design and no size options can be zipped on or off, the only size option is 27 Litres. The LiTRIC Zero is, however, the lightest of the Avabags weighing in at just 1.96kg / 4lbs 5oz. It uses lighter materials and fabrics but still incorporates an attachment option for skis, ice axe or poles as well as an avalanche safety equipment pocket in the main compartment.

Faction La Machine Mini 2 Skis
Faction’s La Machine Mini 2 Skis are the much littler brother of the La Machine 3 Mega Skis which we reviewed previously. While the La Machine 3 Mega Skis are big mountain powder slayers, the La Machine Mini 2 Skis are more for the advanced skier who wants to lap the backcountry with a super lightweight ski that delivers pretty good float. The Mini 2’s also provide maximum edge hold on hard pack and groomers for when you come back in bounds or want some easy hill-assisted turns from the chairlift. Thanks to its carbon construction this ski is light as a feather at only 2.9kg / 6.4lbs. The unique and progressive shape was designed specifically for skiing off-piste but can also handle more compact snow and variable terrain given its medium flex.
The ultra-rockered shape is playful so if you enjoy swishing and smearing through everything then this is the ski for you. The extended tip and tail rocker provide easy turn initiation and the carbon construction makes them torsionally rigid for the strength you need on the down but without all the extra weight of a ski of this calibre. The La Machine Mini 2 Skis are softer and 200g lighter than Faction’s popular Agent skis, so if you want something similar in a touring-friendly ski then this is it.
Faction uses a full carbon weave with 8 to 12 strips sandwiched around the La Machine Mini 2’s wood core. These strips are woven into the ski’s fibreglass to provide strength and stiffness over the full length of the ski. They are also laid unidirectionally, providing extra stability to the ski, without adding un-needed weight. The core is surrounded by a micro construction which is a hybrid of a premium, sandwich sidewall construction fused with a lightweight durable cap construction. This provides improved edge hold and torsional stability and since the ski’s top sheet wraps around and meets the sidewall this protects the fragile joint that can be prone to chipping. The La Machine Mini 2 Skis offers the best compromise between float and lightness, and an ideal overall width for snow conditions of all kinds. Check them out!

Osprey Arcane WP Duffel
Features:
Fresh on the heels of Osprey’s release of the Transporter WP Duffel (which we reviewed in our Summer Gear Roundup Top picks), they have just announced their new Arcane Waterproof (WP) Duffel. The difference between the two is that the Transporter WP Duffel has a waterproof submersible IPX7 rating to meet the demands of multi-sport outdoor enthusiasts and paddlers alike where the Arcane WP Duffel has a waterproof non-submersible IPX6 rating which is more geared to active urban commuters. With built-in breathable air mesh carry straps that can be used over the shoulder or as a backpack style carry the Arcane WP Duffel is very versatile. Multiple lash points make it easy to attach the Arcane WP Duffel on a roof or cargo bike and because of the waterproof non-submersible (IPX 6) fabric which is bluesign approved and GRS-certified recycled. It will resist water and rain thanks in part to the PFC/PFAS-free DWR.
As Erik Hamerschlag, senior product manager for Osprey says, the Osprey Arcane WP Duffel is “Built for people who rely on their bag rain or shine to keep contents protected, our new Transporter WP Duffel and Arcane WP Duffel offer comfortable carry, simple organization, and reliable protection for whatever conditions come your way,”

Foon Tyfoon Skis
Features:
Foon Skis are fully handcrafted in Pemberton, BC and the company is named after their founder Johnny Foon. The Tyfoon Skis are the skis that Johnny always wanted but nobody would make him so he did. They are a rocker/camber profile that’s lightweight and ideal for charging the backcountry lines in the Whistler/Pemberton area. They have dimensions of 145/112/128mm so they are ideal for big coastal dumps yet still respectably light enough (at 3.9kg) to get you up the skin track with relative ease. Hand tuned in the Foon Factory, the Tyfoon Skis use a Durasurf 4001 Graphite Black Base with Urethane Bonded Sidewalls, Eco epoxy made with super sap resin and a B.C Coast Mountain Core.
This is Foon Ski’s Flagship ride and one that Johnny thinks is the ‘ultimate one ski’ to rule them all since it shreds pow effortlessly yet can also rail on hard pack. A true one quiver ski. With Mid tail and tip rocker and level 2 camber underfoot it has the response and personality to ensure you have fun on any descent. The long, early rise, active rocker that starts low in the shovel with a subtler tail rocker allowing them to smear as well as carve. With a nice even flex from tip to tail and an optimized sidecut for easy turning without sacrificing stability, the Tyfoon Skis can take on whatever conditions you encounter from knee deep pow to spring crud and variable snow.
The Tyfoon Skis use a sandwich construction with 2 layers of triaxial fibreglass and 2 layers of yellow cedar with a Durasurf 4001 graphite black base to round things out. Their yellow cedar core is milled from a single piece of Coast Mountain yellow cedar which is then split in two to make a pair of identical cores. Yellow cedar is a tight-grained wood so it naturally absorbs vibration and provides a damp, stable ride. The cores are two inches thick and not made from layers of glued wood like most other ski cores—this allows the natural flex of the wood to transmit to the skier.
The environment is important to Foon skis which is why they’ve partnered with a Certified B Corp - meeting the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability using business as a force of good. This quote from Johnny really says it all: "I’m not talking about eradicating the global economy, just tempering it, finding balance. Cut the global transportation of goods and raw materials in half. That would be a real change." - Johnny 'Foon'
So if you are looking for a locally designed and handcrafted quiver of one ski for yourself or that lucky someone on your holiday gift list then consider the Tyfoon Skis from Foon.

GSI Pinnacle Pro 2 Burner Stove
Features:
GSI’s highly anticipated Pinnacle Pro 2 Burner Stove is changing the boundaries of what a camp stove can be thanks to its rugged, compact and modern design. GSI spent 4 years designing the new Pinnacle Pro Stove to give us the thinnest, high-performance dual-burner stove on the market. At just 3.5cm thick when folded, the Pinnacle Pro Stove is ultra-thin yet it still provides a full-size camp stove cooking experience with its easy ignition, folding windscreens and locking legs. It is made of rugged stainless steel and incorporates two 11,000 BTU-regulated burners with push-button Piezo ignitions. The in-use dimensions are 20" x 12.4" x 1.4" and when you open the unit the innovative design extends two pot supports and when you close it they retract so there is plenty of room and support for cooking with two posts or fry pans at once. To aid in cleaning these supports rotate out of the way and the integrated non-stick coated drip pan catches any boil-overs or messes that may occur. Be sure to check out the new GSI Pinnacle Pro Stove when it’s available this spring as it will take your camp cooking experience to new heights.
The GSI Pinnacle Pro Carrying Bag is a must-have accessory for the Pinnacle Pro 2 Burner Stove as it protects it well when in transport and for storage.

G3 Minimist Glide Skins
Features:
The G3 Minimist Glide is a skin that is easy to use and designed to be frustration free. We liked them so much that we awarded them our Gear of the Year in 2020 upon their debut. It is the lightest, fully featured mixed fibre skin using a mix of mohair and nylon plush which makes it up to 30% lighter than anything else in its performance class. A carbon fibre insert at the tip of each skin creates a directionally rigid platform that prevents snow creep. On the end of the skins a low profile, elongated tail strap with a refined cam clip stays positioned on the ski tail, reduces wear and allows for easy adjustments. The Minimlist packs small enough to fit in your jacket pocket between laps without feeling too bulky which cannot be said about many other traditional skins.

Weston Skyline Carbon Skis x Vernan Kee Skis
Features:
The Skyline is Weston's latest addition to their ski lineup. They are designed for big days in the backcountry, they are made to get you to the steeps and take on any variable conditions along the way. The Skyline Carbon Skis are lightweight enabling you to lead the charge uphill while providing reliable grip on the descent. To achieve this Weston has combined a 95mm ski with their freeride camber-dominant ski profile. The tip of the ski has just enough reverse camper to keep you afloat while the flat to early rise tail allows for easier release of the tails when needed. The ski’s construction consists of an ultralight core composed of paulownia and aluminum stringers, with a carbon fibre overlay. The paulownia and carbon keep things ultralight while the horizontal aluminum provides dampening similar to a full metal ski. Weighing in at only 1500 grams in a 184cm length, the Skyline Carbon Skis are impressively light. With the Mission Series skis, Weston has teamed up with Diné Navajo artist, Vernan Kee, and the National Forest Foundation to support the Wood For Life Tribal Fuelwood Initiative. The program responsibly redistributes firewood from forest restoration projects to indigenous communities for cooking and heating their homes in winter. These skis are not only fun but beautiful as well and would make a great holiday gift idea for someone who likes skiing big, steep lines deep in the backcountry.
