        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.
