  • Stomping Grounds:

    Mostly Utah Mountains
  • Bio:

    I am originally form Germany and moved to Utah 10 years ago when my husband retired from 20 years in the Army. He was not willing to move back to his home state California. A friend of ours had told us about the incredible snow in Utah. Up until that point the European Alps were our playground for skiing.

    A few years have past since and our outdoor activities have increased/changed - trail running, mountain biking, hiking and telemarking.

    My personal goal the next few years is to thrue hike the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) to raise money for breast cancer research.

    See you on the trail :)

EMU Angels Lo Boot - Women's

EMU Angels Lo Boot - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 27, 2011

I received these boots as a gift. At first I had mixed feelings about the boots, but this changed very quickly. These boots are great for town outings in cold weather. As the side opening starts to drop they look even cooler. I also like the fact that I don't have to wear socks and my feet stay dry and warm!
True to size.

Simply Perfect

Isis Henna Sports Bra - Women's

Isis Henna Sports Bra - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 25, 2011

I had many sport bras, but this one is without a doubt the most comfortable one I have. It has a wide cut around the arm pits and does not rub.

It is true to size, fits snug and holds everything nicely in place.

Cozy Warm

Patagonia Capilene 4 Expedition Weight Bottom - Women's

Patagonia Capilene 4 Expedition Weight Bottom - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 25, 2011

These pants are so warm and non-restrictive. I wear these as under-layer for skiing and will also use these for camping in cold weather.

The size is not true. I usually wear a medium, but these turned out to be a little big. Small would have been perfect.

Suunto - my favorite

Suunto Vector Altimeter Watch

Suunto Vector Altimeter Watch

Rating for this product: 5 December 27, 2010

Believe it or not, my husband and I have had this watch when it first came on the market about 13 years ago. To this day we still love it. For an outdoor enthusiast there is nothing better. This watch is very functional. It is light weight (you don't want a pound of watch to pull your arm down when you're running); You can actually see the numbers (no glasses needed to read the time, altitude, barometer or compass). My son loves it as well. He's in the military and wouldn't change the watch for any other.

My husband absolutely loves this jacket! It functions at a very high performance and has held up very well to several storms. The color is quite popular. He highly recommends it. Arc'teryx is the best of the best and not just a name.

CW-X Stabilyx Tight - Women's

CW-X Stabilyx Tight - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 December 27, 2010

What I missed to mention is, the size is true to body. In other words when you wear a medium you want to order a medium.

These pants are a little tight to put on. But when you know how to pull them up correctly it's a pc. of cake :)
Trick: pull them from the bottom up - NOT on the waistband.

My husband is so lucky :)

CW-X Stabilyx 3/4 Length Tight - Men's

CW-X Stabilyx 3/4 Length Tight - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 December 27, 2010

He's lucky, because I bought the first pair for myself and loved them. After he saw me being so happy with these he wanted a pair as well. So I got him the 3/4 length ones and he is just as stoked about it as I am.

The size is true. In other words, if you usually wear an XL you want to get the XL. These are tight and that's the way these are supposed to be. Also, when you pull them up, pull them from the bottom, not on the waistband.

I bought these pants about 6 weeks ago with the thought on my mind I could wear these for running and for skiing. Well, these CW-X Stabilyx Tight turn out to be worth every penny! My knees feel great, and I don't get as sore.

Love my beanie

Coal Mini Beanie

Coal Mini Beanie

Rating for this product: 5 December 27, 2010

I am an adult woman, medium size all around, except my head. It is slightly smaller then medium and a little larger then small. However, this beanie fits so great! I can flip the brim up or leave it down and it looks awesome. It feels great! Most of all, I get compliments left and right. You may think it may not fit a regular medium head. Well, you're wrong. What you may want to know as well, you can through it into the wash-machine :)
