-Stay tuned on the evoBlog, evoTwitter and evoFacebook over the next week to see what next season will bring.
What is the SIA Snowshow?

All your favorite vendors from Burton to Armada will be there showcasing the latest trends, innovations, product lines and styles, the SIA Snow Show represents the only global event where 800+ brands are presented in an authentic environment both on and off the snow; all powered by the passion and culture of snow sports…not to mention the great dinners and after parties!
The checklist of essential avalanche emergency equipment has added a crucial item.
Partner? Check.
Avalanche transceiver? Check.
Probe? Check.
Shovel? Check.
ABS® Airbag? Check and double check.
With more and more folks heading out into the backcountry, avalanche safety and awareness have become a prominent part of skiing for many skiers and snowboarders. Avoiding and preventing avalanches are your greatest weapons against avalanche burial, but in the unfortunate case of an avalanche, there has been no innovation that has been proven to prevent more burials than the ABS® Airbag System.
The Service Board empowers youth to overcome obstacles and build strong community through snowboarding, public service, and a curriculum of social justice. We support tSB with product donations, a portion of our gallery sales, and the proceeds of our 10th anniversary party.
tSB believes that fun, discovery, and adventure are valuable and productive teaching tools, and we couldn’t agree more.
Many of us at evo were fortunate enough to benefit from such experiences and we want to help ensure that today’s youth have similar opportunities.Your donation can provide anything from a scholarship for one youth to go on a snowboarding trip to a home-cooked meal or a trip to the mountains on a Grey Line bus.
Atomic Tracker 16 & Salomon Guardian 16 AT Bindings
It was only a matter of time before we saw another alpine ski company release a new backcountry touring binding. The sister companies, Atomic and Salomon have teamed up efforts to release the Atomic Tracker 16 and Salomon Guardian 16, respectively. evo got a chance to check out the Tracker along with the rest of the Atomic line earlier this week and we think Atomic and Salomon really nailed it on the head with this one. The engineers and athletes wanted to create an Alpine Touring binding that sat low to the ski, could handle being mounted on a wide ski and was not only easy to switch between ski and tour but was also very secure. Their athletes and engineers agree they hit a home run with this one.
Overall Shop of the Year AND Hardgoods Retailer of the Year
Thank you Transworld and THANK YOU to all of our awesome customers and friends who have helped evo win these awards! evo buyers Jake Darro and Joseph Notaro were down in southern California at the Agenda Trade Show to accept our TWO awards!

Well Armada has done it again and evo has been selected as one of the few shops to stock these.
With only 100 Armada BUBBA skis shipped to North America, you won’t find them available to buy on any website including our own. Nope. They are a special in store only model right now so get down to our shop in Seattle and check them out before they are gone. Read the rest of this entry »
