even with the name matching the current economic state, this year's TGR film was no letdown. the lines that Morrison and Sage ski will make you think "wtfrick are they thinking ... ". sick lines, some HUGE airs and a handful of killer tomahawks will leave you amped and ready for the snow to start falling!

great film...def the best of the season. sick lines and a killer soundtrack.

Simon Dumont!

I recently tried out the Stoic Luft down sweater, and was immediately impressed with the practicality of it. At a little over 1/2 a pound, the Luft is by far one of the lightest down jackets I have ever tried, which makes it great for backcounty/sidecountry touring. It is a great insulated layering piece for those cold days, and will keep you warm. The fit on this jacket is very feminine and doesn't make you look like a bubble like many other down jackets. Thumbs up!

The Skullcandy Double Agents are my new best travel friend .... with built-in rechargeable battery and SD card, you can take your tunes where ever you go at the very minimalists of efforts! I always manage to 'misplace' my iPod which results in a minor freak-out and mini heart-attack. But with my Double Agents I have fewer things to pack and carry and most importantly less things to 'misplace'.

The sound quality on the Double Agent is great, not tingy like some other headphones i have tried. They do fit snug, but once you get used to them, and honestly you wouldn't want them to fit any looser, they feel snug.

I picked up the Honey Stinger Organic Energy Chews in the Pomegranate Passion Fruit flavor, and they sure don't disappoint! Unlike other energy chews, the Honey Stingers didn't make me feel ill to my stomach shortly after eating them. They are also smaller in size, so you don't have as much in your mouth when you are trying to bike or ski or run. Try these out, you wont be disappointed!

no, i really do. this beanie from discrete is a keeper. the fit is great, a good deep fit that has just enough room for a little sag, but not over doing it like an all out bro-brah park rat.

cant wait for more colors ... like i REALLY need more hats ....

I got the pleasure of sleeping on the Therm-a-Rest Dream Time pad one evening while car camping ... and oh my word, I don't think I had ever had such a great night's rest while in the outdoors before! It is pretty bulky and not the lightest thing, but its not like you are tackling Everest with this thing on your back. If you want the comfort of a 5-star hotel while out bonding with Mother Nature, then this pad is for you!

The Burton Relay Full-Zip hoody is perfect for a fall day ... not too heavy that you feel like you are too bundled up and scorchingly hot! I am uber picky about the length of sleeves on hoodies, the Burton Relay has sleeves long enough to pull your hands up in without stretching it all out. With all the color hits in the hood .... cant go wrong!

I LIVE in my Teva Mush flip flops. And own almost every color they come in. I have been wearing these flip flops for about 6 years now, and I cant find a better fit, quality, or price from anyone else. These hold up GREAT, I wear them around 362 days out of the year, and a pair will normally last about 1 yr to 1 1/2 yrs. Plus they are wicked comfortable, even if you are up on your feet or walking around in them all day. These Teva Mush flip flops are a MUST HAVE!

First, props to KEEN for making foot-specific socks. And then labeling them L and R for us, in bright yellow none the less! Wicked cool guys!

There are so many things KEEN has done right in the Boulder Canyon Quarter Ultralite socks ... reversed sticking so the toe seam is on the bottom, arch support, ventilation on the top of the foot ... Plus the Merino wool makes these socks really soft!

I would recommend the KEEN Boulder Canyon Quarter Ultralite Socks to anyone who is looking for a great lightweight hiking sock.

The Bridgedale Women's X-Hale Trail Diva Sock is the PERFECT sock for Summer-time hiking. It is light weight, breathable, and padded in just the right spots. I wore these while hiking in July, and my feet stayed dry, and blister-free. I would totally recommend the Bridgedale X-Hale Trail Diva Sock to anyone who is looking for that perfect Summer sock.

The Bridgedale X-Hale Multisport Women's Sock is a GREAT sock for any outdoor activity. I wore these while biking and running in 80+ degree temperatures, and my feet were comfortable, stayed dry, and blister-free. I would totally recommend the Bridgedale X-Hale Multisport Sock to any woman who is active and wants a comfortable sock.

The North Face Arnuva 50 Trail Running Shoe is a good shoe for both trail and road running. I have ran on this shoe a handful of times on road and dirt, and it worked great on both. The deeper treads on the Arnuva help grip in the dirt and make it a stable run. I love that North Face added the side-adjusting feature ... allows you to tighten or loosen your shoes during a run as your feet swell.

The North Face Arnuva 50 Trail Running Shoe runs large, so there is no need to size up for a roomy running shoe.

I LOVE my BC Gear Slut shirt! I got two, a pink and a brown, because I couldn't decide! I ordered a Large because I wanted a little larger fitting shirt, and it is perfect. Not tight and constricting, but also doesn't feel like i am swimming around in it. This BC shirt is made of a nice, soft cotton that is, BONUS, 100% organic.

Now, other than the feel and fit which are great ... how can you beat the saying?!?! Classic ... and TRUE!

The Pistil Women's Charlie Hat is a super cute hat to wear pretty much any where. The adjustable back allows the hat to be worn by any sized head. Pistil did a great job picking JUST enough pink for the Charlie hat. You don't feel like you are five years old, but just girlie enough that you can sport it for a night out with the girl's without feeling like one of the guys!

Gotta love Teva sandals! I have nearly every style and color they make. The Olowahu is great if you are doing a lot of walking or more active type things as the extra straps help hold it tighter to your foot. They are uber comfortable and stylish as well.

They are narrow and run slightly smaller than street shoes, so chose a half-size or size larger than normal when ordering.

These running shorts are great for the warm weather! They are uber lightweight. The built-in liner keeps them from creeping and moving places they shouldn't. The zipper pocket is great for holding a house key and chapstick. The elastic and drawstring waist allow for the sizes to be more broad.
