Great day Wednesday. I had a chance to go up with my friends from Banff Mountain Wear to the Volkl Demo Day.

We had a solid 13 cm's of fresh at Nakiska (not known for it's epic powder days). I tried a few of the many new skis for 2011 including the Grizzly, Mantra, Katana, and brand new Kendo.

The Kendo is an interesting new addition to the Volkl line. Same construction as the Mantra but a narrower waist for a little more of an all mountain carving flavour.

Good to see Pete Hodgson, one of our Snowchasers stars. He was hanging out to help talk about the Freeride line with some of the dealers attending. After lunch he had to carry on to compete in the Fernie Big Mountain Competition.

Thanks a lot to Ken, Murray, and Michael from Marker Volkl Canada!
