As the backcountry market continues to expand, we continue to expand the range available to our customers.

Coal Headwear has been around for 16 years finding their way onto peoples heads. Fashionable, functional, comfy and warm, Coal uses the best materials and don’t skimp out on manufacturing costs so you can be sure your accessories will last the test of time.
Not exactly new to Aussieskier, we quietly had the new Fritschi Tecton binding available last Winter. However, we love the binding so much we thought it appropriate to give it a proper introduction. Innovative, lightweight performance is the name of the game with Fritschi. Their tech bindings are the only tech bindings currently on the market which offer an added degree of safety and ski ability through lateral elasticity at the toe. Not sure what that means? Get in touch with us and ask why it may be an influencing factor in your next touring binding choice.
Head Skis are well known for creating strong piste skis for advanced skiers.

Komperdell make ski poles. And given they’ve been doing it since 1922, they’re really good at it too. Their poles have won countless Winter Olympics and World Cup medals, climbed the highest peaks in the world, and are continually updated with new technologies to make them lighter, stronger and more comfortable for use. We’ll have a range of telescopic and regular ski poles to have you speeding down, or up, the hill in style.
Planks are a rider-owned clothing company drawing inspiration from decades of having fun in the mountains. Passionate skiers, their outerwear represents technical fabrics in stylish cuts and colourways. With an eco-friendly approach and sustainability at the front of their designs, we think Planks offer fashionable and technical outerwear that won’t break the bank. Their motto ‘drop cliffs not bombs’ is pretty awesome too.

The new Dual Core construction utilized in their ski boots allows for fantastic performance across all types of terrain. We’ll be carrying a variety of styles and widths, including the RX series and the XT touring series.
Look Bindings feature a long and rich history dating back to the 1950s, and are credited to developing some the first modern alpine bindings. The legendary Pivot Binding is a burly binding that absorbs more shock and prevents unwanted pre-release better than any other binding on the market.
Mammut stands for years of experience in harsh mountain environments, where reliable gear that performs as expected is a necessity. For this Winter we’ll be carrying a range of their avalanche safety equipment. With over 45 years of experience developing avalanche transceivers, the Barryvox and Barryvox S represent the pinnacle of technology currently available.
Rossignol is one of the biggest brands in the ski industry and has been manufacturing great products for decades. Whether it’s on the race circuit or in big mountain competitions, their skis and ski boots are a regular sighting. We’ll be adding limited numbers of the sought after Soul 7 HD and Sky 7 HD series to our ski range. We’ve also had many requests to carry the Experience lineup of skis for Men and Women too, so you’ll see those on our ski wall and website when Winter rolls around.

Whether your lounging around the lodge or in need of some serious warmth on the coldest of days, Vigilante’s range of products will have your back.
