Best freeze dry dinner you could ask for. It is nice and filling after a long day of hiking. It is really tasty too, it's my favorite of all these dinners. I like to put a little hot sauce and pepper in there and it makes for one wonderful mountain dinner

New Balance WT20 Minimus Trail Running Shoe - Women's

New Balance WT20 Minimus Trail Running Shoe - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 November 26, 2011

Super comfortable shoes, they don't have a ton of padding in them, but more than I had expected for a shoe this light. They took some getting used to as my first minimus shoe, but I love them now. They are so light weight you hardly notice them and they will protect your feet well from rocks while on trails. I wear a 7 or 7.5 depending on the brand, usually a 7.5 in new balance but I went with a 7 in these since I will usually not be wearing socks and the closer fit is nice with these and they fit perfectly, not too loose not too tight and I can still wear some thinner ankle socks with out a problem

Rating for this product: 5 April 14, 2011

These skis are amazing! They are super fun for skiing on any terrain, but especially fun in the powder. I was debating between these and the JJ's but decided to go with these for no specific reason and I am very happy with my decision. These have made this winter so much fun! I'm 5'3 lady and I got the 176s and that seems to be a good size

Marker Duke 16 Ski Binding

Marker Duke 16 Ski Binding

Rating for this product: 4 April 14, 2011

These are super solid bindings, I use them in and out of the resort and haven't had any technical issues with them. My only complaint is that they are on the heavy side once you get them all mounted up, definitely makes you work while skinning up the mountain.

These pants are super durable and comfortable. I got these for my father for Christmas this year and he can't say enough good things about them. They fit true to size, they are waterproof, breathable for skinning, have nice thigh vents for extra ventilation if you need it and they look good.

Perfect gift for Dad

Patagonia Insulated Outskirts Jacket - Men's

Patagonia Insulated Outskirts Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 April 14, 2011

I got this for my dad this christmas and he absolutely loves it. The insulation in it is really nice where the jacket is surprisingly light weight but will keep you warm in any winter weather. On days where it is a little warmer just open up the vents and you are good to go. My dad is big on pockets and has been happy with all this jacket has given him in that area. It also looks even better in person. He is about 5'10" not sure on weight but normally wears a medium and that was the right size to go with in this jacket as well.

Cross to the rescue

Cross Edgar Jacket - Men's

Cross Edgar Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 April 14, 2011

This jacket is the best, I have worn it almost every day since I got it at the beginning of the winter and I have no regrets about it! I have worn it in real bad storms and stayed totally dry and covered. The insulation has been perfect for every day, most of the time I can just wear a tee shirt under it and be perfectly warm, on really cold days I will put on an extra layer of long underwear and i'm perfect. The one and only complaint I really have about the jacket is the hand pockets, they are super shallow so you can't fit much in them, the chest pocket it huge though so that is where I end up putting keys and stuff while I am out skiing. I am usually a medium in women's jackets and got this in a small, the fit is fairly baggy on me but thats how I like it!

I own these clogs in just about every color I can get my hands on. I hate shoes but when the snow flies these are the only thing I put on my feet other than ski boots! They are super comfortable and have great arch support. The reds are my favorite and I get tons of compliments on them

Stoic Bombshell Insulated Ski Pant - Women's

Stoic Bombshell Insulated Ski Pant - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 December 1, 2010

First of all, I got the purple pants and love the color, they are a deep purple that looks really nice. I wore these out hiking in 0 degree weather with just underwear under them and stayed very warm, i even had to zip the vents open! The only gripe i have with them is the size, i usually wear a small or medium, i'm 5'3" 130, I tried mediums which were really tight in the waist and I had to wear them really high, they were also tight in the butt but good in length and around the legs. I ended up going with the larges and am very happy I did, I can wear them a bit lower and more comfortably and they don't look huge on me, the main difference in the mediums and larges was just a little extra room in the waist and hips.

Rating for this product: 5 December 1, 2010

This is an awesome helmet, I got it in grey and really like it, it looks just like it does in the picture. It fits really well, it comes with extra padding you can velcro in in the places where you want it which is really nice. It has fuzzy ears to keep them nice and warm! I have smith phenoms and smith fuse goggles, the fuse fit perfectly with the helmet, the phenoms don't fit perfectly but pretty dang close

Rating for this product: 5 January 25, 2010

I have these boots in brown and they are one of my favorite purchases EVER. They are not big or bulky at all like the other Moon Boots and they are very warm and comfortable. I'm a little bit worried about the quality of the laces (they seem like they could break really easily) but as long as I keep them tied all the time they should be fine.

New Balance 1520 GT Hiking Shoe - Women's

New Balance 1520 GT Hiking Shoe - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 January 3, 2010

These shoes have been awesome so far, they have great traction in slippery conditions and they are waterproof as they say which is awesome! The only things i have to say about them that im not totally psyched about is that the tonuge is mesh and not waterproof so water can still get in there, and they do run a touch small. I usually wear a 7 and went with the 38s and they fit really well but in the toe area they are a litttle bit tight, im hoping a little breaking in will fix that! But all around i give these shoes a thumbs up!
