If your interested in a brief outline of the gear, read on.

The 2011 class has two new freshman to introduce; the Volkl Kenja for her and Volkl Kendo for him. They boast the same free-ride capabilities that Volkl is know for while offering a slightly narrower waist. This seems like the perfect ski for those seeking a reasonable side cut with out sacrificing any performance beyond groomed runs. Right now I’m envisioning ripping a zipper line into a untracked 12.”

Last year, we saw Volkl revolutionize the Gotama and Kiku into powder machines. The rockered shape made for many smiles on powder days. In 2011, other then a slight update to the tip, Volkl decided to sick with the same design and update the graphic.  The same rings true for the Mantra, AC50, Kuro, and Aura.

All in all, Volkl receives at A+ for the 2011 product line. The Kenja and Kendo both help define the new all-mountain free-ride and fill the void between carving ski and free-skiing. If your in the shop, check out the new line in person or stop by rentals for a demo.

Stay tuned, we’ll keep you posted on the 2011 product lines as they arrive.

Hello, whomever is in charge of fish and rivers in the US.  I think we need to do something about these Asian Carpe.  This is a funny video, but I think we all agree that these things can not be good.

Anyway, as you can tell my boss is a great tennis player.  He is so good he still uses a wooden racket with a tiny head.  He will play any challengers.  So go ahead and try to beat him.  He has a nasty backhand but his real talent is intimidation and mind games.

I think so. http://www.tetonvillagesports.com/blog/index.php/2010/08/18/products/arcteryx-alpha-sv-gloves-mittens-best-gloves-ever-i-think-so.html http://www.tetonvillagesports.com/blog/index.php/2010/08/18/products/arcteryx-alpha-sv-gloves-mittens-best-gloves-ever-i-think-so.html#comments Wed, 18 Aug 2010 22:12:31 +0000 squirrel murphy http://www.tetonvillagesports.com/blog/?p=2739

Arc’teryx has created another masterpiece with their new Alpha SV Glove and Mitt.  They are the most comfortable pair of gloves I have ever worn.  That is because they were designed to be perfectly articulated for the human hand.  Arc’teryx also completely rethought the way Gore-tex gloves are designed.  They managed to considerably decrease the bulk in these gloves and mittens so they are light and give you great dexterity while being very warm at the same time.  I’m thinking about selling my car for a pair.
