Black Diamond will be launching a new line of backcountry skis next season. To help get the word out the BD crew headed out to the North Cascades with a group of ski writers to see how they liked the new skis. Larry, Paul and Jeff had the pleasure of skiing with the crew using snowmobiles and the helicopter to access the high-alpine backcountry ski terrain around Washington Pass. Check out the blog posts from Off Piste and The Verteblog for pictures and info on the new skis. The favorites seemed to be the new Carbon Fiber Megawatt and Justice. The engineers at Black Diamond ended up shaving two pounds off the Megawatt without losing any surface area. Fat and light - just the way we like it here in the Northwest.
