    Kiteboarding on snow or water is my vice.

    I am usually where the wind blows or in the backcountry.com office in PC anxious to get back out.

    When the wind is dead which is often in UT, I mtn bike, snowboard, telemark ski, whitewater kayak, camp, hike, or just sit in the mtns and relax.

Columbia Snow Powder Down Bunting - Infant Girls'

November 3, 2008

I just got back from Moab 11.10.08 for the weekend and we have a one year old that came with us. It got down to 20 degrees one night and she was toasty in the dalmation print. She slept through the whole night! We did layer some thick fleece PJs underneath.

Killer Shoes

Supra Cali Vulk Skate Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 March 5, 2008

I bought these shoes about a month ago and they are cool. I am sick of the big bulky skate shoes. These are super low profile but are still quite a bit more burly than chucks.

Gyrate with a Kite

K2 Gyrator Snowboard

Rating for this product: 5 March 3, 2008

After a couple days at the resort in this years deep Utah powder I was hooked. The snow has been so deep this winter I was stoked I had the 168cm. This board floats so well just 4 inches of pow feels deeper than it should. Because of it's fairly narrow waist it turns surprisingly well in trees, even on hardpack. This board is also awesome for snowkiting, with a little extra length, reverse camber and the softer flex you can pull of any tweaked air you might be thrown into.

Time to Transition to a better pant

Burton Ronin Transition Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 February 6, 2008

I bought these in purple and they couldn't be better. The zipper skirt and great quality make this a very comfortable pant. Keeps the snow out of your pants and breaths enough to keep you dry on the inside also.

Goat Liner Glove

Backcountry.com Goat Liner Glove - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 February 6, 2008

I couldn't pass these up. These are great quality and are slightly thicker than most liners that I have had. These are great for touring, snowkiting, or just riding my bike to the grocery store.

Can't go wrong with GoreTex

DAKINE Cobra Glove - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 January 14, 2008

This is the third pair of Dakine Gore Tex gloves I have purchased in the last few years. (Remember if you set your gloves on top of the car and then drive away they will not hang on for very long) I love these gloves.

Embarcadero Pant

Element Embarcadero Denim Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 November 19, 2007

At first I ordered these in one size too big but this site made it easy to swap out. I usually hover between too sizes and even with the smaller size they sag a little more than most of my other pants, but as long as they hang on I will still be rockin them.

Can't get a better pair of shades. I was hoping they would at least have a hard case for the price. I can deal with that.

Best Wax Ever!

Toko System 3

Rating for this product: 5 March 28, 2007

This wax tops the chart. Over the past couple years I have tried quite a few random sticks of wax, but I finally bought 6 packs of this stuff in the red and yellow. I melt them together on my skis, when it is a little colder I go with more red, when it warms up I mix a little more yellow. Great for all conditions in Utah.

does the job

Black Diamond Gizmo Headlamp

Rating for this product: 4 January 12, 2007

I'd recommend this headlamp to anyone looking for a simple headlamp for camping etc. It isn't super bright, but for that same reason you aren't changing the battery very often. I also like how it doesn't have straps all over my head and there isn't a bulky battery pack on the back. One button design is nice- no bells and whistles. It gets the job done for a good price.

Adventure Medical Thermo-Lite Outdoor Bivy Sack 1 person

Rating for this product: 5 December 7, 2006

I have been throwing this in the bottom of my pack for quick day skiing trips in the Wasatch, haven't used it yet but it makes me feel a little more prepared if myself or someone in my group where injured or had to unexpectedly stay the night. This could save your life.

Versatile Big Foot Powder Board, Burton Baron - Wide

Burton Baron Snowboard - Wide

Rating for this product: 5 December 7, 2006

This is a great board, I just threw down on the 157 wide. And Put the red Burton P1 binding on there. I love this board, not overly stiff but solid, great all around board for everything, and even better for the deep pow because of its extra width.

Snowkite Maniac Jacket

The North Face Apex Free Line Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 November 30, 2006

I just recieved this jacket, props for fast delivery. This jacket will be perfect for trudging through the snow setting up my kite lines, breathable enough to keep me from sweating buckets but with the taped seams and waterproof materials it will keep me nice and dry from crazy windy kiting weather.

I just got the shorty version of this, but I have been surprised about how comfy this is. I have never fussed about a sleeping pad but it has been nice to not wake up with numb extremities, I can even sleep on my side with this baby.
