Salomon Shift
The new S/LAB SHIFT from Salomon is a binding that soars above the rest in the next generation of freeride capability. Blending the touring efficiency of a pin binding, with the performance heel of an alpine freeride binding! For skiers who like to push the boundaries of the mountain and their skiing, SHIFT to the first ever truly compromise-free binding.
Hitting the shelves in limited quantities this fall the Shift will be available at Fattys! It is a must see for all backcountry enthusiasts.

Line Skis – More Funner!

Line has been with us for pretty much the whole ride. Started around ’95 Line Skis was a true pioneer for freestyle skiing.

Being the core brand that they are, we have kept Line as one of our flagship, showcase brands throughout time because they have been through the ringer just like us.

Mt. Baker
Fattys took a trip to the PNW to visit some old friends and explore new territory. The first week of March at Mt. Baker brought us 10ft of light, fluffy snow in 8 days. We were swimming. This video was filmed by Jesse as the crew explored Swift Creek, a day in the backcountry with Patrick, JJ, Brigid, and Chris. Oh yeah can’t forget Bruce & Peter!
