2004 Black Diamond Havoc Skis and Fritschi Freeride Alpine Touring Review
02.07.04 | Author: Brig Graff | No Comments

This year Black Diamond released the Havoc - a 120mm fat ski with a twin tip construction. We rode a 183cm pair mounted with some Fritschi Freeride touring bindings, and we dare you to find a better setup anywhere for big mountain skiers crossing over to alpine touring. With only a few small drawbacks and many, many strengths, the Havoc/Freeride combo is a setup you need to consider.

Powder Pillows at The Canyons Resort, Utah
01.23.04 | Author: Jason Mitchell | No Comments

Just one of those great powder days inbounds at The Canyons Resort, Utah. This run is a little-known jewel off the Super Condor lift. I love the little elevator drops every few turns to increase the face-shot potential. After a little back-seat driving, I pull out a fun string of turns and drops on this line. No audio, but you get the point... nice Utah powder. [quicktime]http://www.feedthehabit.com/videos/ski/powderPillows.mov[/quicktime]
