Posted on March 7th, 2012 in Gear, General by KyleNothing more than promoting a clothing company I think deserves some backing. Matix has always had great style and has been a favorite of mine of a while now. So when The Clymb sends me an email that they’ve got a bunch of Matix apparel & accessories on sale for the next 4 days, well I just feel obligated to let you guys know about it. Grab it before I snatch up the entire lot!
2013 Surface Lab Ski vs. Ski Through Starbucks

Posted on February 6th, 2012 in 2012 SIA Snow Show, Gear, General by Jason
This is one of the skis we are most excited about after visiting SIA. Just a couple of seasons ago many people thought 105 was the sweet spot for ski width, but as more and more skis have swelled past 115mm under foot the new norm for width is becoming much wider. The 2013 K2 Pettitor is Sean Pettit’s first pro model ski, and definitely belongs to that “new-school” mentality clocking in at 120mm under foot. It still has plenty of side cut though, so along with a decent amount of torsional rigidity, expect it to perform fairly well on hard pack.
Of course early rise is on board for plenty of float in deep snow, and even though this ski is obviously meant for charging big lines just like Sean, based on the specs, we expect it to perform well across a wide range of conditions, for most decent skiers.
Stay tuned for an on-snow review of this one in the coming weeks, where hopefully our intuition about this being a super fun ski will prove correct.
