QUICK AND EASY CUSTOM SETUP

The ESCAPIST UNIVERSAL is the most affordable and versatile custom-fit performance climbing skin that's designed to be as easy to set up as it is to use.

The ESCAPIST is a fully customizable climbing skin. The user sets the length and trims the edges according to their skis using the included G3 trim tool.  For the first time in a custom setup skin, the ESCAPIST features G3's patented self-aligning stainless steel hands to create a strong connection with any ski tip shape.  Paramount to the ESCAPIST design, this feature brings G3's premium user experience and performance to a value line of skins.

New for the 2022/2023 season, G3 has improved the ESCAPIST tails.  Sizing holes have been added to improve user experience and now has similar functionality to the tried and true ALPINIST+ tail strap.  This eliminates slippage thanks to the mechanical design while maintaining the ultra lightweight design and materials.

Removable rip strip reduces skin-to-skin adhesion, making it easier to pull apart skins. If your glue gets contaminated on an epic traverse, you can remove the strip for extra adhesion.

• Quick & easy fully customizable setup
•  Self aligning hands that fit any ski tip shape
•  Bomber tail connector
•  Removable rip strip
•  Trim Tool & Skin Savers included
•  Premium Plush: Proprietary lightweight, fast gliding, and super durable nylon plush

UNCOMPROMISED PERFORMANCE AT UNRIVALED WEIGHT

Designed for frustration-free ease of use, the MINIMIST GLIDE with its optimal mix of mohair and nylon plush is the modern realization of everything skiers expect from their skins. It's the lightest, most packable fully-featured momix skin in the world.

The MINIMIST skins achieve an ultralight feel by using high performance textiles from other demanding sports applications as a backbone.  This results in climbing skins that exceed the highest expectations for features and performance.  Every MINIMIST skin is up to 30% lighter than anything else in its performance class.

The MINIMIST skins pack small enough to fit into your jacket pocket.  The low-bulk materials matched with the minimalist tip and tail system create a tightly packed roll that doesn't require any extra room in your pack.

A carbon fibre insert at the tip of each MINIMIST skin creates a directionally rigid platform that prevents snow creep and extends your time in the mountains.

New for the 2022/2023 season, G3 has improved the MINIMIST tails.  Sizing holes have been added to improve user experience and now has similar functionality to the tried and true ALPINIST+ tail strap.  This eliminates slippage thanks to the mechanical design while maintaining the ultra lightweight design and materials.

The new ovo-concave shaft, low-profile stompable blades, and wide range of cored-out handles make BCA shovels stronger, lighter, and more packable than ever before. This new line is inspired by our legendary A2-EXT “Dozer” shovel. It’s so popular among our core followers, we’ve named our entire new line after it! BCA was the first to create an avalanche shovel with a non-round shaft to prevent breakage while prying. We’ve taken our groundbreaking oval design and added a concave radius on both sides to make it even stronger, without adding weight. This shape also enables better grip in the palm, reducing slippage while shoveling. All BCA extendable models are designed to meet the UIAA standard for avalanche rescue shovels.

THE DEFINITIVE BACKCOUNTRY FOLDING POLE FOR SPLITBOARDERS

The PIVOT features superior packability and strength combined to create the ultimate packable pole for split boarding and backcountry travel.

Optimized user experience comes from the finishing details in any design. PIVOT poles wrap around the handle and lock into place when packed, making it super easy to fit into your backpack or cleanly attach them to the outside. This nesting feature gives a secure finish when packed which is ideal for splitboarders and for travel.

The lightweight aluminum construction of the PIVOT is engineered for strength and durability. The design of the poles improves on stiffness and power over other folding poles for a stronger downhill performance when needed.

Splitboarders have different needs in regards to bindings and transitions when skinning. The extended utility tab at the nose is the perfect tool for manipulating your bindings on the fly with a shape that allows for the pushing or pulling specific to splitboard bindings. For certain bindings it is easier to use the basket to do this job, so the PIVOT basket is dialed in to do just that and keep you moving uphill.

The PIVOT features an extended soft and comfortable foam grip with a dual-density plastic upper for precision in grip and handling. The extended foam and the yellow rings along the shaft make it super easy to select more than one hand position when traversing. The rings also speed up transitions by giving something to pull against when locking the pole into place.
