TNF product testing trip goes off
Every year TNF does a product testing trip with some of the design team and a few of the athletes. It’s always a great time and this year was no exception. We found ourselves in northern Idaho at Peak Adventures cat skiing. Sleeping in a yurt and skiing tons of untracked vert made for the perfect environment to test the new gear and immediately give our feedback to the design team. Here are some shots of the trip and the crew.
We managed to get all of the gear into the rental cars, the only question now was where do we sit.
Chaining up the rigs for the icy hill climb ahead.
Going pee in the middle of the night was a bit nerve racking knowing that there was a huge wolf in the area.
In the cat with and one step closer to the pow.
The epic View on day one.
TNF athlete Kris Erickson showing that he is truly the jack of all trades.
Mark Carter giving some love.
The Grave Digger of snow cats.
Jim Zellers on Skis? Sage and Zellers decided to trade gear for a couple of runs and they both crushed it. Zellers said that he hasn’t skied in like a hundred years so he thought that Sage’s rockered skis were a lot of fun, I even think he said that it felt like snowboarding.
Sage punching a backflip first run on a board of the year. Oh yeah he stomped it too.
Entering the yurt.
The crew enjoying a couple of drinks in the yurt after a awesome day of shredding pow. It was tight quarters but everyone agreed that staying in the yurt was way more fun than a big fancy lodge.
Eric Tieji about to stomp a perfect half backflip. Nice work Tieji way to send it.

Great pics from a great trip! Always fun to test some product with you. Hope that tree heals quickly.
Ian I just wanted to thank you because your skiing has inspired me push the boundries in my skiing career. As a local Jackson Hole teenager I’ve had noticed how much a mountian and infulences can help you become a better skier.
