MANUFACTURERS
Sure, we all love backcountry powder skis, alpine touring boots and bindings, hardshell and softshell jackets and pants. Gore-Tex, NeoShell, puffy down, merino wool and many more materials. Do you ever wonder about how they are made though? And who are the elves that manage to put everything together? Well you’re in the right spot. Here, in our new “Manufacturers” section, you’ll learn more about the craftsmanship, engineering and special sauce behind many of the great backcountry ski brands you know and love. We’ll take you with us on tours to behind-the-scenes, under-the-hood locations. Some exotic, some not—but all of them will be of interest to anyone interested in the provenance of their favourite gear. Your input is key so tell us what you think in the Forums.
