I am lucky to work with such talented and devoted kids who are willing to wake up extra early and be in the lift line to get after the fresh snow and newly opened terrain following ski patrol as they dropped the rope.

We have been loving the Tecton! The lateral toe elasticity allows it to absorb vibration like no other tech binding on the market. It also has a lateral toe release which makes this the safest tech binding on the market. This video shows Isaac coming up just a hair short on a rotation and the Tectons releasing smoothly. You can order the Tectons here.
Last spring, after being crowned the Freeride World Tour Champion as COVID-19 spread and the world shutdown, Isaac headed home from Switzerland to Utah where he quarentined and dreamed up a vacation from it all. When things settled down he headed to the mountains of Montana with Riis and Zander who collaborated to document the adventure.
My knowledge about terrain choices was slowly coming into focus. But, I started to recognize other gaps in my knowledge. Even though I wore a beacon every day I wasn’t very proficient at using it. I understood what made a good start zone for an avalanche, but not why some days or times of day that avalanche would be more likely to occur.
The terrain in the Tetons was inspiring and this was another moment where I realized I had to continue my avalanche education to keep skiing the things I wanted to ski.
