mountainFLOW
MountainFlow is expanding its line of sustainable ski poles with an adjustable pole with tape below the main grips, making them more useful for backcountry skiing.
They have a new Infrared (IR) Waxer coming out next year.
- Effective: IR waxers help the bases to absorb the wax. You can actually watch the wax disappear into the bases as you are waxing.
- Sustainable: These devices use very little wax. Plus, less wax is being scraped off the ski and onto your floor.
- Easy To Use: IR waxers require very little scraping.
- Saves Money: They make your bar of wax last much longer.

The Tigard has 130 mm of flex and four buckles for a stiffer and beefier fit. It uses Grilamid material and carbon fiber for optimal power transfer yet still provides tech pin binding compatibility and Gripwalk outsoles for the backcountry and hiking. It utilizes its excellent Hoji rear lock system for a walk and ski mode that lets you easily go from the lift to the backcountry.
The Tigard 130 Unisex ski touring boot is an aggressive, technical Alpine Tech Boot for maximum downhill performance on- and off-piste. Fast as a snow leopard and strong as a tiger, the Tigard Free Touring combines Free Touring and Alpine skiing. The boot is the ultimate partner for all downhill-oriented athletes. It is compatible with both frame and tech and alpine bindings. Thanks to its low weight and extraordinary freedom of movement, you can easily conquer several hundred meters of vert – and will be the first one guaranteed to drop into the perfect line! This high-end boot features the patented Hoji Lock System that merges the cuff and shell on the inside of the boot into one completely inseparable, an interlocking unit without any play. With just one-hand handling, you can transition from walk to ski mode. The unique Grilamid material with carbon fibers offers very high rigidity with a progressive flex of 130, so you can enjoy your well-earned downhill to the fullest. The Tigard is the only boot in the DYNAFIT collection that integrates Overlap construction. This guarantees the foot is enveloped perfectly for precision skiing and direct power transfer. Compared to alpine ski boots, entry is significantly easier with its Easy Entry features. To ensure you make your way safely over rocks and icy flanks to your line, the Tigard 130 is equipped with a sturdy, long-lasting Gripwalk sole. This offers perfect grip and ideal traction when walking out of the binding. The Tigard is compatible with fully automatic crampons to lend even more safety on tour. An additional special feature of the Tigard 130 is the optional thermo-moldable Dynafitter 15 boot liner. Thanks to PrimaLoft, your feet stay comfy even in icy temperatures. At the same time, the liner lends the highest comfort and rigidity at a lightweight.
