Ralph Backstrom Binding Review
We’ve been in the trenches building and shipping bindings lately and haven’t had a chance to post anything on the blog. So, we’re posting something we haven’t written. Jones rider, Ralph Backstrom, has been testing our binding for the past 7 months and just posted a review on UnofficialNetworks.com. Read Ralph’s review here: Ralph Backstrom [...]
Read morePowder Day-Off
Tyler and I have been working like dogs for the last three months, so we decided we deserved a day off this weekend. We headed out with my wife and brother-in-law. The timing of the little trip couldn’t have been better because a big storm front just came through Washington. I guess we were “working” [...]

Last weekend we (Bryce, his wife Melissa, my wife Marcy, and I) headed up to Flett Glacier on Rainier for some casual summer touring and camping.

A couple weeks ago JimW invited Tyler and me to join the California splitboard crew on their trip to Shasta. We jumped at the opportunity to check out a little more of the California split scene and also invited Russell to join. 50+ emails later the plan on where we were touring was still in [...]
Read moreLate Season Snow!
It seems like this is the snow season that never ends, I’m not complaining because I love it. I woke up yesterday to two inches of snow at my house in Sandy, UT. Late April and May have been good to us in Utah. My only problem is my normal touring partners have hung up [...]
Read moreKalifornia SplitFest
Two words to sum up this last weekend: Freakin’ Amazing! Day 1 Bryce and I really didn’t know what to expect going down to the Kalifornia Split Party, except that it was going to be an adventure. We decided last minute we were going and scrambled to get plane tickets. Keeping with tradition… the night [...]
Read moreGoing to California!
The Baker SplitFest was so much fun that Tyler and I have decided to check out the Kalifornia Split Party which is being put on by a bunch of California splitters on splitboard.com. Here is a link to the Split Party thread. Neither of us have had the opportunity to ride/tour in the Sierra Nevadas, [...]

Thanks for the pictures Toni!
