My name is Josh Christensen.  I grew up in Salt Lake City.  I learned to ski at the age of 5 at Solitude ski resort just 15 minutes east of my home.  The older I get, the more I ski.   I now hold a job as a 'gearhead' at Backcountry.com.   Along with the gearhead job position comes a lot of ski time and a ton of gear knowledge.  In order to better get product reviews, rather than product advertising to consumers, I started this website.   To check out what I am up to, check out the blog section.  To find out about the best and worst gear in skiing, click on product reviews.   If you want to contact me click the 'contact' link at the top of this page.
