Back Country Access Float and Dynafit this winter.
I had a great meeting with Gordon and Fraser from Anatom on Friday we went through the new products from Back Country Access and Dynafit that I will be using this winter.
The guys will be supplying me with Dynafit Manaslu skis mounted with the new TLT Radical Binding Kate will be skiing on the same set up with the Womens Manaslu and the same bindings. I will also be skiing on the Stokes again this winter for all those phat powder days teamed with the new TLT Radical FT binding. All the skis will be used with Dyanfits superb speed skins.
On the feet I will be using the Titan boot for more aggressive days combined with the ZZERO4 C-TF boot this is almost the same as last years green boot which was my work horse last season. I am also looking forward to trying the TLT 5 to see if they go as well downhill as up.
We had a good play with the new version of the Tracker from BCA the Tracker 2 this looks like a great unit which seemed really easy to use on the lawn at Anatom so I can't wait to get it in the snow. The BCA Float airbag rucksack is going to be available for the first time in the UK this winter and I will be using the Float 36 this winter. Also new from BCA ids there new range of Bomber shovels, I decided to go with the B2 EXT which looks like it will offer a good balance between weight and size.
One of the advantages of the Float system is that it is so easy to refill the compressed air canister so you can train and demonstrate with it really easily. Here is Fraser setting off the Float 30.
