Perhaps the most notable feature of our slow start to ski season in the Tetons was the excellent start in the Northwest, SW Colorado, etc. It was one of the few times I’ve yearned to travel out of the Tetons between December and March.

@Gavin, you might find your clients more willing to take pictures than you think. I certainly have taken some of guides I skied with, and Rob C. used one for a product review article.
What I’d really like to see in pack reviews is the pack fully stuffed with the days gear, and then seeing skis or axes attached, and things like water or a jacket inserted and removed.
In the stock picks they always have it nicely filled, but no more. In real life, stuff starts to bulge, and move, and suddenly the skis or axes don’t sit so well anymore, or it becomes super hard to get that jacket or water out at a snack break.
These don’t have to be in use, they could be taken at the trailhead, or in your living room.Thanks!
