  • Stomping Grounds:

    Salt Shaker, Utah
  • Bio:

    Born in the thriving metropolis of Ogden, Utah Jonny "A" Atencio is no stranger to the mountains.

    Once, in Idaho, he caught a wild steelhead with a piece of dental floss and a strip of bacon- He befriended the steelhead and then trained it to hunt down and retrieve smaller fish for his sustenance.

    He has been sighted in more than one VIP lounge, sprawled out on the couch, PBR in hand- even though they were only serving Belvedere and Cristal

    His training regime is extreme: some say, a bit too extreme, in fact, it is often referred to in all caps. EXTREME.

    Using only a can of Adobe sauce, some fresh garlic cloves, a pork roast and a book of matches, he made an award winning Barbacoa Pork that was on the Today show- Al Roaker really enjoyed it.

    As you can see, his beard is a mix between weak and not so good-

    He has worked for the Secret Service, the FBI, and Interpool at the same time, from a remote location- it got to be too crazy for him

    He has 4 pairs of Blundstone's, and rotates between them weekly. People think he has dozens of them.

    He is addicted to Green Chile.

    He is American.

Scott's Best goggle to date!

Scott Fix Goggle

Scott Fix Goggle

Rating for this product: 5 November 27, 2009

These goggles are super comfortable and stylish. I have had them since Jan 09, and they have performed exceptionally, no fogging whatsoever. If interested in getting other lens options, I believe your only option is to call 1-800-PRO-LENS. The lens option that are shown here, the Natural Light- are pretty much the ones I use daily.

Joystick Sauce Ski Pole

September 3, 2009

Depends on a couple of variables- jibbers typically run shorter poles, to give you a reference- I am 5'10" and ski with 48" (120cm), if i were a jibber, I'd probably run 44" (110cm) I'd suggest you get the 125cm...or 130's if you can find them...you can always cut em' down,,,you can't make em longer!

Rating for this product: 5 September 2, 2009

I was seriously reluctant to ski in a two buckle ski boot- but to my surprise, these boots have turned out to be the best boots I have ever owned. They also are one of the only boots that I have not had to have extensive work done to, I put in my footbeds, and I was good to go! Killer boot-period.

Rating for this product: 4 January 8, 2009

Work perfect with Backcountry Access Tour Shovel System, or most other shovels. Put your hydration pack in there, you have room for skins, a layer, gogs, gloves, and what other small essentials you'll need. Simple ski carrying system seems to work nicely, don't think it would work so hot with a snowboard. So far so good, i am stoked on its performance so far

My go-to goggle

Scott Alias Limited Edition Goggles

Scott Alias Limited Edition Goggles

Rating for this product: 5 December 8, 2008

The Alias goggle is what a goggle should be, simple styling, great fit and best of all the preform. Imagine that. To top it off, they do have some of the best graphic/treatment options, the Schmuck Taylor and the Pub Crawl are my fav's. The Chrome Amp lense is a great all around lense, that works great most of the time, the do have a low light lense, but is hard to get your hands on, I believe 1-800-PRO-LENS sells them.
