  • Bio:

    there are times occasionally in life when great changes occur. things never just stay the same, any time. change seems to be one of the few certainties in life. but while we look forward eagerly to what is to come, we can thoughtfully appreciate the good that has been and what we have at the moment. i think that pretty much sums me up. i love living in the moment and getting in as many turns as possible. woot.

The North Face Thunder Jacket - Men's

June 11, 2009

Yeah, the pertex quantum fabric would probably get little scorch marks and holes on/ in it. If you were really worried about it you could always get some ripstop patch tape to cover holes.

The North Face Thunder Jacket - Men's

June 11, 2009

This jacket would be fine with a very light baselayer as well as a shell over it. Make sure that the shell provides you with adequate venting because there is a chance of overheating. I rock mine with a t-shirt and shell though and am plenty warm.

Cosmetics slightly different than before. However, its still the same old bag that youve grown to love. Bomber construction with the tarp fabric and roller blade wheels. This thing takes anything that you can dish at it. Oh, and the gaping maw fits at least a weeks worth of stuff and your extra ski boots. Just dont put so much in that you get overweight baggage!

The left pocket is built so you can pull the entire jacket into it. Then there is a zipper you can close so it all becomes encapsulated in a mesh pocket.

Rating for this product: 5 May 29, 2009

From town to coming down from Mt Mansfield, my flips have been everywhere. From kickin it with my bros to goin to dinner with the lady they are apropos for every situation. The footbeds give enough support for my aircraft carrier feet and the straps give the perfect amount of strap tan. Oh, and theyre good all winter. Im on my fourth pair in 5 years and I wear em 10 months a year. Perfect for getting out of ski boots and lettin the pups breath. If you need a supportive and good lookin flip look no further

Rossignol S7 Caballero Alpine Ski

May 29, 2009

Yeah, next years koopman's are pretty rad. I can ski the 3 on hardpack and in manky snow without a problem. Its 98 underfoot and I ski it in the 186 and its definitely manageable. I wouldnt recommend going with the seven unless you have more than a one ski quiver but i definitely shralped em in the east on a deep day. However, if youre looking for a great ski for making surf turns in the deep stuff this ski is for you

Rating for this product: 5 May 28, 2009

So youre out looking for a durable, good looking, and light weight pack for hiking and travel. What are you going to do? Well look no further! This pack is super lightweight, looks totally rad and is made with a really tough parachute fabric. I wore it for a weekend trip and it is an amazing pack. So amazing in fact, that I ended up stealing my girlfriends! The fit is also superb and the X-radial frame allows for great range of movement.

Smith 2008 Hustle Helmet

Smith 2008 Hustle Helmet

Rating for this product: 5 May 28, 2009

This helmet is a great fit- keeps my ears warm and protects me from whatever may come my way (an errant chair at stowe when my girlfriend dragged me in front of it). Also prevents gaper gap because we all know thats the bane of all helmets. I know some may say that it looks bobbleheaded but I never had that problem especially when paired with a puffy. And the eco doesnt has a cocona liner which helps it not stink after a few days of not showering. Woot!

The jacket also does run a little short, so depending if you wanted it for town wear its a bit helpful to size up. The arm length however would probably fit you for a small though. Grip it and rip it!

The North Face Cipher Windstopper Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 May 28, 2009

This coat is a great one to wear in all conditions- be it snow, sunny or even the occasional downpour. I happened to be wearing it one night that turned epic (i.e. downpour and lightning) and it held it's own, even if by no means is it considered waterproof. However, it is one hundred percent windproof. One of the best hybrid soft shells made- Gore windstopper front and arms and house brand Apex soft shell for a little breathability under the arms and sides.

Great Ski

Rossignol S5 Barras Alpine Ski

Rossignol S5 Barras Alpine Ski

Rating for this product: 5 May 5, 2009

I rode these last year and absolutely love them. They have great edge to edge control and you can rip through anything. I am 6 foot and 190 lbs and could take em through the park as well as rip on fresh days. The whole line for 08/09 was great and 09/10 is going to impress too. I was happy with the overall stiffness of the ski for blasting through crud too.

The 178 would be a great ski for you especially if you ski all around the mountain. I skied these last year and really enjoyed the control and edge to edge control. And you can definitely ski em well on rails.
