Bio:
I'm a skier who enjoys deep powder, and really any type of skiing, actually. I've been lucky enough to get to film with MSP for their movies Claim, Seven Sunny Days, The Hit List, and Yearbook, two Warren Miller films, and the documentary Steep. I'm a correspondent for Powder Magazine, and I have some amazing sponsors: The North Face, Volkl, Tecnica, Scott USA, Giro, Subaru, Squaw Valley, Crystal Mountain, Clif Bar, and backcountry.com. Thanks to all of them!

Giro Lyric Goggles - Women's
June 10, 2009
I always wear these with a helmet, and they work amazingly well; also, I love the lens changeout system. This particular lens is sweet for low-light days.

MSR Reactor Stove
June 10, 2009
this stove is amazing for melting snow & boiling water quickly at altitude. idiot-proof to use, as well--just DON'T try to warm up the fuel canister to try to get it to work better when it's cold out (with any stove, for that matter..)! Danger!

Tecnica Moon Boot - Women's
August 6, 2009
I would recommend the 42-44; they might feel snug at first but the inside liner is soft and comfy, and they do pack out a teeny bit with use. Enjoy! I LOVE my Moon Boots!

Tecnica Moon Boot - Women's
August 6, 2009
I know guys who wear these boots and love them! They just have to be secure with themselves and ready to rock them--use the Euro sizing, and just order the size that would fit the guy. Unisex for SURE!! (maybe not the pink ones, but there are plenty of manly colors--they guys I know rock the black usually, but one extremely flamboyand Australian that I know likes to wear the white ones!)

The North Face Metropolis Parka - Women's
April 20, 2009
I would say if you want to wear layers like a sweater or hoodie or fleece to go with the medium. If you're just wearing it over stuff that's tighter to the body, the small would be good, definitely more of a fitted look. I wear a medium and am 5'4", about 140lbs if that helps.

The North Face Denali Fleece Jacket - Women's
March 16, 2009
I think M would be perfect--I am 5'4" and usually around 140lb or so and a M fits me well, it's a pretty classic fit; although I wear a large just because I like to wear it kind of baggy.
