With great snow conditions several times already this year we publish our visit to the Slovak brothers to Vrátna valley. This time we were invited to the SCOTT test days. Upon arrival, we met with Pavel Mejsnar, who commanded the whole event in a long time and also met our friend Marek Macháček. Nothing less is really mad because of frost up to -18 in the shade, we shortened our friendly discussion to a minimum. We chose to test things and headed up the hill.

I can say that it was really a lot to choose from. Complete collection of ski goggles, helmets and clothing clearly encouraged to try all sorts of things. I was personally most interested in improved helmet Scott Rove which was the real one for me. Due to improved adjustable back size and padding, I think that will not fit only to me but to most of people. Limited Edition glasses for the Freeride World Tour. These glasses pleasantly surprised me by a very wide viewing angle and high-quality glass, which can be used in most conditions.

And of course last but not least hot news, avalanche backpack SCOTT. This backpack has developed in collaboration with SCOTT amd Mammut. Backpack has a metal buckle and is generally very well treated. This avalanche backpack integrates a removable system developed by Pulse Snow, now Mammut. Is it possible to use not only for riding, but also year-round wear.

  And finally the riding itself. I am very happy that I could see my friend Marek Macháček again after many years of riding. He surprised me a lot when he said that he was riding at Vratna valley only once per his life. And so we've just showed as much as we could to him. So I hope that you enjoyed it Maro! And you did not forget to ride, as I noticed :)) We shred both rock and luxury woods full of powder. Only the top was thus tuyeres on the ice.

I would also like to thank Pavel Mejsnar from Scott for inviting us to this great event and opportunity to test a lot of great things. When I thought that everything Scott has developed and is at the end of innovation, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that they still work at both the design, materials and functionality.
