In before someone else says Moment. High quality skis, good shapes and sick graphics.

On3p, I live with one of their guys and let me tell you he cares so much about the shape of your tips.

Trew. I've got some new bibs for this season from them stoked to give them a shot and their local so ++.

Is Prana considered a small brand? It's part of Columbia.

4FRNT, Faction, Moment, and ON3P here too. Brooks Range, Stio and Mystery Ranch for gear.

Yes, some of my favorite small companies are GE, Microsoft, Apple, General Motors, Koch Industries, and Simplot.

Freeride Systems is the shit- and they help out local causes and mags. Best jacket I've owned in a long time. Basic, but keeps me warm and dry.

Love my new ON3P skis, they make me look better than I really am

Never Summer Snowboards might not be too small anymore, but I've been riding them since they were small, and they've always made a solid product, and had a well run company. Good people work there.

Sparks and Karakoram- the split board community is lucky to have the two of them. Really you can't go wrong.

Guerrilla Gravity for CO made badass aluminum frame mountain bikes.

Haven’t purchased from anyone in any indusrry that remotely approaches the quality and customer service of
Praxis and
Free the powder

**smartyiak** · 10-05-2018, 07:52 AM

ON3P - b/c they reached deep into their storage closet and found a blem NOS 2yr old skis when I didn't want the new version.

PMGear - Why? B/c love the skis or not, Pat is an awesome dude. And he cared enough about his skis to see if another company will make them....and followed through to get it done. So even if they don't technically exist anymore, I'm voting them in.

So Praxis too...for making awesome skis and for getting the Lhasa made.

And another vote for FRS...seems like every time I open a "mag meeting" thread, I see MiCol contributing some swag to make it better.
