Stomping Grounds:
I frolic everywhere and anywhere in the beautiful Wasatch mountains: Snowbird, Brighton, Alta - or hiking in the backcountry are my favorites. -
Bio:
When my alarm goes off at 4am and I am comfy in my bed - you know what gets me out of bed, besides the DEEEEP snow I am about to go play in? It's the mystery of the day. The mystery of the mountains. I love it. It's like a mental chess game against the mountains. You exercise your patience and perception in the elements, do it correctly, and the mountains become your good friend. Nothing like hiking in the dark up a mountain and sitting pretty on top of a line when the sunrises. STOKED

Dash Longe Pro Model
Discrete Dashonator Beanie
October 23, 2009
This beanie was personally designed by pro skier Dash Longe. The robot sew-on label design was created by Dash's twin brother Hunter Longe. The cuff on the beanie is reversible with a stripe. The artwork is on both sides of the tag, so you can rock the beanie with or without cuff. 2 styles, one to shred, one to kick it with. The beanie is ribbed and has a tight, relaxed, grippy fit for riding. This beanie is silly fried mashed potatoes fresh, gumby gold style.

If you've worn headphones when you ride before, then you know you need to keep the suckers on your head. Well these babies have sticky rubber grip on the underneath up top. So they don't slide around on your beanie/head. Get some/after it!

Bumpin Tunes
Skullcandy Recruit Headphones
March 7, 2009
I've become a big fan of listening to music on the recruits when I ski. You can wear them over your goggles VS wearing your goggles over the headphones. You can ski aggressively and not worry about them falling off. You can pull the headphones easily to the side to hear people or when you are skiing, if you prefer to hear the snow instead of the music, like me.

Smith Phenom Turbo Fan Goggle

Here I am laughing on a cold, snowy, day of skiing/shooting pictures. When it's hot one minute when you are hiking, then really cold the next, when you start skiing you need to be able to rely on your goggles to not fog. This is NEVER an issue with the Smith Phenom Turbo Fan Goggle.

Atomic Bent Chetler Ski
October 28, 2009
Hey, read the review above for JJ reference:
written by eri3374524:
...is how my very knowledgeable and trusty ski tech buddy describes the Bent Chetlers.
He has skied pretty much every comparable ski offered by Volkl, Armada, K2, Rossignol, Line, other Atomic models, etc (he specifically made comparisons to the JJ, Hellbent, and Chopstick). According to him, the BC's are hands down- by far, the best ski out of the bunch. To avoid redundancy, his comments echo all the strong positives that have already been posted.
After a long conversation and some research, I took the plunge on faith alone. I opted to set up my BC's with Jesters, mounted 2.5 back from factory recommendation. I'll post my experience once I have had the chance to ski them.
