Niseko snow gear review

Niseko Snow review of 2012 Rome Targa bindings


Rome SDS has been designing some sweet bindings over the years and the top end Targa for 2012 is a beauty. Targa’s are known to be tech, tuff, light, adjustable as can be and aesthetically pleasing. When a few guys from the rome crew came over to shred Niseko and Teine, I strapped my boots in and ripped around on em. Boot-in and board dangling off the lift, the binding didn’t release so no need for a leash! When fully strapped in the Targa’s are so comfy that it feels like you are just wearing boots and somehow your board is attached- Comfort King approved!






Sharks in Niseko!


Neff 2012 winter shark mittens are always chasing a fella down the slopes in Hokkaido... Beware!Niseko snow and I are stoked to have warm fingers while grabbing stalefish and proud to introduce Neff's new powdershark mitts for 2012. A nice addition to Neff's ever-growing glove collection are the mitts that float the Hokkaido fluff like a puppet-show powder-master. These waterproof sharks have opposable thumbs, sharp toofs, beady eyes and dangerously soft dorsal-fins that can catch your nose while slashing pow when wiping snot.
