Free Your Bindings! Our mission is simple: to provide top-quality tools and products for skiers who want to get the most out of their ski and binding quiver.
The business began in 2007 when Jon wanted a new pair of skis but didn't want to pay for another pair of bindings. He wondered: shouldn't skis use the same simple threaded inserts that snowboards have used for years? He conceived, designed and tested the threaded insert based on extensive discussions on an internet ski forum and trial runs on the mountain.
Here at Black Diamond it's all about climbing and skiing. We share the same experiences that you do on rock, ice and snow and these experiences push us to make the best gear possible for our worldwide family of climbers and skiers. What began with a backyard anvil and a hammer has grown into a global company with offices on three continents that's not just for rock climbers, but one that stands for the spirit of the sports we live, their values and goals, past, present and future. Since 1957, our innovative gear designs have set the standards in numerous areas. This is partly the result of dedication, desire and diligence on the part of an incredible team of people. It's also the result of each of us being climbers and skiers ourselves. We're a company of users, it's who we are. We're the greatest dreamers about what could be, and the harshest of critics about what exists and because of this the creation of Black Diamond is a process which will never end.

Handcrafted at the base of the beautiful San Juan Mountains of SouthWest Colorado (SlideWright's backyard).Glide-on is a specially formulated hydrocarbon hot wax, perfect for any 'glide' application on Skis, Snowboards, Skate Skis, Telemark Skis, and Skiboards. Like other hydrocarbon ski waxes, Glide-on is made of paraffin and microcrystalline. But unlike the others, Glide-on has a specially designed polymer added for extra strength and speed. For a hydrocarbon wax it is amazingly fast! It's smooth, easy to apply and long-lasting. Before marketing Glide-on waxes commercially, they underwent rigorous field-testing and always out-performed other, more expensive hydrocarbon waxes on the market (including Swix CH). I can say with confidence that if you currently use a hydrocarbon glide wax, you will find Glide-on to be superior.
Benefits of Glide-on Wax
-Non-toxic, environmentally inert, and PFC free.
-Faster than standard hydrocarbon glide wax
-Competitively Priced
-Handcrafted with care and precision
Glide-on is non-toxic and environmentally inert. It does not contain Fluorocarbons (PFC's), Molybdenum, Graphite, or Silicone

SKIMENDER Repair Pistols for quick and reliable ski and snowboard base repairs
SKIMENDER RP 360
The SKIMENDER RP 360 is a high-performance ski and snowboard repair pistol for professional repairs. It has been designed and built for carrying out long-lasting repairs quickly and simply.
Operating the SKIMENDER RP 360 is easy - simply insert a repair stick into the tool, and pull the trigger! The flow rate of the molten repair material, extruded through its unique high-temperature heated nozzle iron, is controlled by operator trigger pressure.
Another unique feature of this tool is its magnetic, detachable stand which, along with a screw-down metal plate (supplied), allows the operator to pick up, use, and replace the pistol with ease.
No other gun-based system operates close to the SKIMENDER RP 360 temperature. The high temperature of the heated nozzle iron actually welds the repair material to the base, making the ultimate permanent repair that will outlast all others.
SKIMENDER RP100
The SKIMENDER RP 100 is a smaller repair pistol, designed for skiers and snowboarders who want to carry out their own repairs to lightly damaged areas.

We all know what it's like to prepare skis and snowboards with a nice sharp scraper edge and we know what it's like when the edge goes dull. Generally, you look for another scraper and find the one with the sharpest edge. Eventually, you will have to re-sharpen your scrapers using a conventional file, bolted to your bench or held in your hand... and that's a pain, but the pain can go away with the...Ski Scraper Sharpener from Mantac!

Rack Envy is a terrible affliction, affecting millions of Americans who are using substandard car racks to transport their gear. You can see its devastating effects in disorganized trunks, disheveled backs of SUVs, cramped minivans and haphazard pickup truck beds everywhere.

It's on trails, mountains, lakes and streams is where we get our best ideas. Like, "Hey, let's make a snow mount you can operate with gloves on so we won't get a debilitating case of popsicle finger."Or, "Let's put padding and nets in our cargo boxes so gear doesn't rattle around like it's in a giant maraca."And, "Let's put integrated bottle openers on hitch-mount bike racks, since you can't carry one around while you're wearing spandex fancy pants."As a result, there's just no better car rack to help you get over your Rack Envy and on your way to the great outdoors. At Yakima, we're extremely proud of what we do. Because we're not just making the world's finest car racks, we’re making the world a happier place.
