  • Bio:

    I absolutely love to trail run. And I love to tele ski. If I had to choose, which one would I pick.....luckily I don't have to!

    I'm very lucky - living in a ski/mountain town has a been way of life for me for fifteen years. When I'm not working at Backcountry.com, I spend my time trail running, tele skiing, mountain biking, skate skiing, hanging with my best buddy and also with my favorite dog. I started climbing again this year too. Lots to do and not enough time.

The North Face Apex Bionic Jacket - Women's

August 27, 2009

I recommend that you order a small. I'm not a 100% what the sleeve length is, but The North Face products typically run a size larger than normal. I'm 5'7", 130 lbs and small normally fits me really well. Hope that helps.

Veloce climbing shoes - good fit

Scarpa Veloce Lady Climbing Shoe - Women's

Scarpa Veloce Lady Climbing Shoe - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 October 31, 2008

I'm an 8.5 women's shoe and purchased size 39. Fits well. I've only climbed about 12 routes in these shoes, so may not be completely stretched. Easy to get on and off. Comfy for multi pitch days. No heel slip, decent grip (although I do more crack climbing than slab climbing).

Black Diamond Dome helmet - super comfy

Black Diamond Half Dome Helmet

Black Diamond Half Dome Helmet

Rating for this product: 5 October 31, 2008

This helmet is super comfy. Adjustable sizing works really well (especially as I'm normally between a small and medium). Light weight, cool and comfortable. I'm not fond of helmets - still don't ski with one. That being said, I was apprehensive, but found this one to work well. Forget I had it one. And a rock about a half dollar size in diameter bounced right off it the week I bought the helmet. Safety never takes a holiday. Recommend this helmet.

Cute, fun skirt for warm weather. Lightweight and comfortable. Good length for work, hanging out, dinner, etc. Tapers a bit too much at the legs. Order a size smaller. I'm 5'7", about 130 lbs and normally wear an 8; the 6 fit me.

The North Face Space Cowboy Board Short - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 July 29, 2008

Cute looking shorts. The kelpie green is a bit lighter than the photo (brighter versus the muted color above). The shorts hit right about the knee. They're lightweight and dry quickly. I found them to run a size big. I'm 5'7", 130 lbs and normally wear an 8; but in these shorts the size 6 were a bit loose. Recommend them.

Good for trail running

Sugoi Stamina Skirt - Women's

Sugoi Stamina Skirt - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 July 10, 2008

I love trail running in a skort. Fabric is comfy and didn't bunch. Light to medium weight; might be too warm for a day above 80 degrees. Bike shorts rather than underwear shorts (I prefer the latter for running). I'm 5'7" and 130 lbs and it fits well. Not as short as the GoLite skort. Like it enough to buy another one.

Rating for this product: 4 June 16, 2008

I was hesitant to use one. Fits well (I'm 5'7") and has chest strap that helps keep pack in place on steep vertical downhills. Has two sides pockets for feed, chapstick, etc. Bungee cord great for layering piece. One catch - sometimes the strap rubs on my collarbone.

Rating for this product: 5 March 4, 2008

After looking at this product for 3 months, I finally bought it and wish I had sooner. Great, none bulky layer for skiing. For any day under 30 degrees, I wear a mid-weight base layer, this jacket and my shell. It's perfect. Good for touring on cold days. I'm 5'7" medium frame and the small fits well.
Color is light green.

Backcountry.com Wool Hooded Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 February 25, 2008

I purchased this hoody a few weeks ago and I have to stop myself from wearing it to work more than twice a week.

Very soft, very comfy and warm. I live in cold weather (20 - 30 degrees) and it's perfect for work attire with a cute tee underneath.

I'm between a medium and small; I'm 5' 7" (The North Face/Patagonia small, but Mountain Hardwear / Marmot / Arc'teryx medium). In this item, the small fits really well.

GoLite Calamity Jane Skirt  - Women's

GoLite Calamity Jane Skirt - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 July 5, 2007

This skort is great for trail running or just hanging around town. It's a bit longer than the prAna Sugar Skort, so if that's what you'd like, this is the skort for you. The skirt fabric is cool and very lightweight. The leg grippers are comfy but can get hot on a warm day. I highly recommend this skort.

Warm, cozy down jacket that does not make you look like a football player. Jacket keeps you very warm and looks good doing it. I typically wear a medium jacket (5'7"), but this one is cut to fit versus providing a roomy fit - the small works for me.

Oakley Half Jacket Sunglasses

Rating for this product: 5 October 3, 2006

These sunglasses work well for trail running, mountain biking and road biking. They don't bounce and sit well on the face. They're so light, half the time I forget that I have them on. Used mostly for trail running so the lighter lenses work well when running in the trees on sunny days.

The North Face Arnuva 50 BoaTrail Running Shoes - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 September 27, 2006

Light, cushy trail running shoe - feels like and supports like a road shoe on the trails. The Boa lacing system works well and does not come loose during a run. Great for dry trail runs and very breathable, although I don't think they're ideal for snowy trail running conditions. Overall one of the better pair of trail running shoes out there.

Rating for this product: 5 March 20, 2006

Love this ski! I bought the RCS Skating - Cold (medium). I started skate skiing this winter and thoroughly enjoy it.This ski works is challenging enough that I won't outgrow it by next season while not being too stiff that I'm completely out of my comfort zone. It's a great ski for those that experience wide ranges of winter weather.
