Initial Thoughts: Roxa R3S 130 Ski Boots

This season I have made a switch to Roxa Ski Boots , Roxa is an Italian Manufacturer that at one point was making boots for Raichle . My weapon of choice is the Roxa R3S 130 All Mountain Cabrio, an all mountain boot that I can race in. I was happy that I the wait and the weight was over! A beautiful looking boot Out of the box the first thing I noticed was how light these boots were, being a coach/instructor I am in my boots 4 days a week up to 8 hours a day, so being light is a good thing! at around 1600 grams they are the lightest boots I have ever owned.

My New KTM Myroon Prestige Mountain Bike

I am now an Ambassador for KTM bicycles, they are trying to get a footprint here in the US and very big in Europe, headquartered in Austria. A month ago I sold my Epic and was ready to ride a KTM I was really looki

At the base getting ready to ride the 2nd scariest tram in the world So one of my bucket list items has been to ski the Vallee Blance, one if not the most famous runs in the world and today was the day! To start this run you need to take the 2nd scariest cable car in the world up to the top of L'Alguille Du Midi at over 12,600 ft, it's really one heck of a ride and I was happy to be in the middle and see around me. Our guide today was suppose to be a guy named Clement from Evolution 2 Chamonix France , he was no where to be seen, Eric asked this rough looking guy if he was our guide and answered no, wait until 9am! To which I said great another old grumpy French guy, he have me a pretty dirty look.
