Who doesn’t know the mysteries of buying new gear, when you think you know what you’re getting in the shop but then on the mountain it turns out that you bought a completely different cat with your sack. Of course diligent and philanthropic as we are we try to share as much of our allocated wisdom and personal experiences as we can, but that will never span all the products that are available out there.

So good for you Mpora Gear has now launched the Snow section with reviews, comparisons and direct links to online retailers for thousands of products! And besides expertise from magazine staff, you will also find opinions and recommendations of other users just like yourself.

So head over to mpora.com/gear and find yourself a new shred stick or share with the rest of the community why you would recommend your current one and to whom.
