For those of you living in a box, the West has been getting crushed with snow the past few days. With snowfall totals totaling up to and over 80 inches over the past 72 hours in some places, and bases as deep as they’ve been all year, it’s time to break out the powder [...]
Forget the expensive chocolates and flowers. And why kill yourself trying to plan a romantic dinner when you know you’re gonna screw it up anyway. Any female who skis would appreciate this tasty set of boards known as the G3 Luscious…
Their lightweight construction and asymmetric sidecut give the ski float while still maintaining [...]
Imagine having a little computer on your wrist that acts as an altimeter, barometer, thermometer, compass…and yes, even a watch. And when I say “computer” I mean exactly that. Not only does the Suunto Core measure changes in barometric pressure and altitude, it stores up to 7 days worth of data that is [...]
If you’re like most people, you probably only have one set of goggles. Even the folks I know who make a living out of acquiring multiple boards to go along with their collection of gadgets only have one pair. This is totally normal. However, different lighting conditions warrant different types of lenses. [...]
I love how ski and snowboard companies are starting to embrace the interactivity of the web to reach consumers and help expand their brands. We’ve already seen how Grandoe has enabled customers to design their own gloves using a nifty online interface (Grandoe Gloves: Build Your Own), and we’ve also seen how some information [...]
From a slope meter and BCA Crystal card, to a snow saw and Avalung, there are a lot of tools you could take with you to keep yourself safe in avalanche country. But ask any expert, and they’ll tell you that there are 3 essential pieces of gear that are absolute musts.
For the past I don’t know how many years, I’ve been happily skiing in Grandoe’s hugely popular and amazingly durable GCS (Glove Component System) gloves (pictured below)…
I’m not always the first person to complain about cold fingers but I hate them just as much as anyone. And spending your time on the lift trying [...]
I met a Smith Rep at a ski/snowboard exhibition a few weeks ago in San Francisco and he basically sweet-talked me into trying this helmet on, and I gotta say, I loved it. Smith’s Variant Brim Helmet also had some other bells and whistles like built in headphones that are compatible with Bluetooth, phone and audio systems…
For all those bargain hunters out there, tomorrow marks the opening day of REI’s Winter Sale (Nov 21 – Dec 1). It’s finally time to put away that pair of Kombi gloves you’ve had since 1985 with each finger wrapped in duct tape, or maybe it’s the Nevica one-piece you’re holding onto. Regardless, [...]
Back in the late 80’s, when Nevica jackets and sherpa hats were still the hot new look, K2 released a ski that made all the difference in the world. Maybe it was just the timing since it was the first pair that I was good enough to ride really hard, but the Extreme has [...]
