Platypus Big Zip SL Hydration Bladder
January 17, 2011
Taking a water break with my 3L Platypus Big Zip near Mt. Quandary in CO. This was the grand finale of my quest for 12 months of skiing and having an easy access water supply in the high alpine made the hike a breeze and the day a success.
As for the product itself, the zip is solid, secure, and super easy to fill
The detachable hose-to-bladder connection is convenient and feels durable (where my Camelbak eventually failed)
The bite valve won't leak with its turning on/off mechanism, but it does create another step between you a cool drink. This is particularly annoying on a bicycle or while trail running.
Overall, this bladder is superior to others I've had because it feels like it will last. Only time on trail will tell.

Snow fun in the Flurry
Sorel Flurry TP Boot - Little Girls'
January 17, 2011
I bought these for my niece who lives in SC, thinking that she would be visiting me in Utah in the spring. But on Christmas day it snowed in the Carolinas so she got to use them the very next morning. She absolutely loves them. They keep her feet plenty warm, but more importantly, they keep her feet dry in the wet Southern slush. She can run around without her boots flopping all over the place and won't lose her footing while running into another giggly sled ride.
Here is a photo of her digging a snow tunnel in her Flurry boots, after her daddy stayed up all night making snow just for playing.

Marmot Tamarack Jacket - Women's
May 29, 2012
Yes, but it could depend on your helmet size. I've found that with most jackets you have to unzip them a little, slip on the hood, and then zip them back up. At first this seemed like a hassle to me, but in reality it keeps it from flying off as you ski as well as keeps the super-deep faceshots from billowing down the back of your neck.

Marker F10 Tour Binding
May 29, 2012
The answer is simple: MORE backcountry skiing, go with the F10. MORE resort skiing, go with the Baron. But if you're not a super aggressive skier or above-average height, then you can probably get away with the F10 in most resort situations.
