PORTLAND, OREGON (June 12, 2012) – Garmont North America (www.garmontusa.com) will distribute Movement Skis in the U.S. and Canada, effective immediately.
Garmont North America currently distributes award winning Italian-designed boots for skiing, hiking, climbing and travel; Bridgedale Socks; and Life-Link Backcountry Equipment. The addition of Movement Skis – an esteemed Swiss brand known worldwide for light and powerful designs – significantly strengthens Garmont North America’s retail presence in the rapidly growing alpine touring and sidecountry/freeride ski markets. Additionally, the alignment of Garmont’s innovative family of boots with the Movement ski quiver is nearly perfect, providing a formidable collection of energetic and fun gear combinations.
“Movement Skis is a perfect brand companion for Garmont North America. They’re equally committed as a company to the highest level of design and function, and they enjoy creating products that simply ski better ,” said David Fee, president of Garmont North America.
Movement Skis are known worldwide for their exceptional high performance designs, innovative construction technologies, and a longstanding leadership role in environmentally sustainable material use. Movement Skis passionate following includes many members of the US media, who have supported the brand with numerous accolades in each of the last three seasons
In 2011, Movement Skis awards included a Backcountry Magazine “Editor’s Choice”, Freeskier Magazine’s “Editor’s Pick”; Skiing Magazine’s Indy Test “Testers Choice” and “Official Selection” honors; and a Powder Magazine Fantasy Draft selection. In 2009 and 2010, awards for Movement Skis included an Outside Magazine “Gear of the Year” Award, two Backcountry Magazine “Editor’s Choice” Awards, a Powder Magazine “Skier’s Choice” Award, a Skiing Magazine “Test Selection,” and a Ski Press “Best Buy” Award.
Movement Skis’ superior reputation for distinctive and dynamic skis derives from their proprietary Control Torsion System (CTS) ski construction technology, which blends torsional stiffness with round longitudinal flex to maximize performance and enjoyment in every snow condition. Movement will launch several new and improved ski models for Winter 2012-13.
Movement Skis are also recognized for the company’s leadership in sustainable and toxin-free core construction. Their pure wood cores are harvested exclusively from FSC/PEFC-certified forestry operations, and are manufactured using a process that avoids adhesive toxins, which are common in composite or synthetic alternatives.
“With so much marketplace interest in light and powerful ski equipment, the pairing of Garmont and Movement is truly a remarkable match. Both brands are known worldwide for lightweight, high performance products, and the opportunity to pair them both at retail and on the mountain is a remarkable convergence,” added Fee.

Check out this great review of the CamelBak Ultra LR and Marathoner from GearFlogger.com
The sheer variety of hydration options these days is overwhelming, but you can rest assured that however you hydrate, Camelbak has a solution for you. Their Ultra LR (pictured) and Marathoner hydration vests solve the same problem in two different ways.
Both vests have an overall low profile and very useful (why don’t more packs have these?) wide shoulder straps with a good-sized mesh pocket on each. The pockets are big enough for food or extra water, cameras, cell phones, even a compact wind jacket. The fit is snug and contoured, with not one but two sternum straps to really dial it in. Runners, bikers, scramblers and anyone who moves around a lot will appreciate the fit.
Both Camelbaks have 70oz. hydration bladders, but where the Marathoner uses a standard vertical carry format, the Ultra LR carries lumbar style, horizontally. Because of this the Ultra LR also has a hip belt,unlike the Marathoner. The other big difference is the cargo capacity. The Ultra LR has a larger main pocket and adds two medium pockets on the padded hip belt.Both vests use Camelbaks excellent delivery systems, with Antidote reservoirs, Big Bite valves and Quick Link fast connectors between the tube and bladder. Both the Ultra LR lumbar vest and the standard format Marathoner are excellent solutions. If you’re a traditionalist wanting to go uberlight, the Marathoner is for you. If you want to pack more gear and distribute the weight around a lower center of gravity, check out the Ultra LR. If there’s some other combination of capacity and carry style you desire, check out Camelbak’s web site and prepare to get dizzy with options.
