BD Crash Pads, Episode 2: Zack Giffin's Tiny House
Here at Black Diamond, our athletes' all-consuming drive to spend as much time in the mountains, at the crags and on the trails as possible tends to make for some interesting living situations. Modded-out cargo vans, backwoods shacks, parents' basements and musty expedition tents-the idiosyncratic places they reside when they're not doing what they do are a defining testament to the Black Diamond team's passion for climbing and skiing. Whether it's just a place to store gear, a comfy base to rest up for the next adventure or a traveling home on wheels, this ongoing series will give you an inside look at the places BD climbers and skiers call home.
This month we caught up with BD skier Zack Giffin, who had his super-unique tiny house on wheels parked in the Alta Ski Area parking lot in the midst of a massive mid-winter storm. In between pow laps, Zack was kind enough to give us the tour of his custom-built rolling ski cabin.

This is the coolest set up EVER!!
Sure beats all the van conversions that are out there!
Do people ever have problems with you parking it up in certain places?!
I love the fact that everything is made to suit your height/ arm stretch etc.... looks like you've really neatly placed everything into such a tiny space without it looking too cramped... all the new wood mades it look a bit like a swedish sauna!
Enjoy every moment!
