The United Nations of Shred mission “Through Savage Europe” Written by Adam    Friday, 11 March 2011 It had been six months or more since I’d heard from Benoit but one day last fall he called me up and said, “We’ve got something special lined up in the Balkans. I can’t tell you the exact dates yet but block off a few weeks in February or March.

Scrambling better for better lines - Vibram 2011-12 test/task force for freeride/AT boots, kick-off Written by Francesco    Thursday, 28 October 2010 Freeriders and AT skiers are considered by most observers as separate entities, but we believe its time for a change. The fierce competition for powder and first tracks in lift-assisted spots has spurred a new generation of skiers who begun to scramble a bit rocks, snow and ice to get access to otherwise unaccessible, exciting new lines. Once accustomed to skins, these skiers also enjoy the AT culture and quickly become addicted to the earn your turns concept.
