As much as we hate to admit it, there are other sports besides skiing. These sports become more popular during the summer months when the snow is scarce. This is our summer 24′ gear stash – a list of “must-have” items for your summer adventures. If you’re still looking for summer skiing opportunities, check out some of our favourite places for summer laps here.
When we aren’t skiing, some of our favorite activities at the SKIER office include biking, hiking, camping, climbing, and beer drinking. To help you get ready for any adventure, we’ve put together a list of our favorite gear from some top brands to get you pointed in the right direction.
