How has your skiing changed with the ALLTIME?
I think that the ALLTIME is a good tool for me because I like to hike a lot and get into cool areas where it’s easy to be creative and have unlimited pow, but with most gear you have to skimp on how hard you shred for the sake of having tourable gear. The ALL TIME is a good happy medium, where I can get to the top quickly and easily, and still ski as hard as I want on the way down.
Best Run on MFD ALLTIME:
A super-secret side-scountry run near Whistler. Long fun Pow turns all the way to the valley floor, and a couple hour skin out. All time.
Best known for (on-hill)
Skiing fast, doing tricks, and finding strange lines in tight places.
Best known for (off-hill)
Mad scientist, inventor, musician, tall-bike jouster.
Favorite Backcountry Run:
Hard to put down, as all the best runs don’t have names. Definitely had some amazing runs in Revelstoke, B.C. though.

It’s not the trick, it’s where you use it…
