PADDLING
Backcountry Skiers are busy bagging peaks, climbing crags and generally just getting out there in the 'off season' and this includes getting on the water. It can be Kayaking, sailing, stand up paddle boarding and plenty of other water-based adventures. If you have ideas for products you would like to see reviewed here let us hear it.
