Not every skier or snowboarder prefers to wear hats. I actually know a lot of ladies that prefer headbands on the slopes. Like most people, I also enjoy listening to music (at an appropriate level) while skiing. That's where the i360 Music Infused Headband steps in.
When I first saw these I thought: holy cow that's the best idea EVER! You simply slide the iPod Nano (first or third generation) into the headband and plug into the headphone jack. The headband has two (removable, for washing purposes) mini speakers that pump music straight through your headband.
This sounds good in theory, but, ...

I just had to write about the Giro TuneUps audio kit because I love it so much. Compatible with the Giro Omen, Fuse, G10 and G9 helmets, this kit is basically two earpads with built in headphones that you can just pop into your helmet.
I use them with my G10 helmet, and they feel exactly the same as the original earpads. You plug your MP3 player into one of the earpads (make sure to plug it in all the way for consistent sound) and you can enjoy tunes all day on the mountain. The genius of this setup is the ...

A: Hi Linda,
Congratulations to you and your fiancé!
I don't have much experience in the field of wedding planning, but some quick research shows that Breckenridge has two wedding locations available on the mountain. Both are venues with areas for outdoor ceremonies as well as indoor facilities that can accommodate about 200 people. The major catch is that these venues are only available for summer weddings. The Maggie is open ...

Q: Hi Colorado Snow: I will be a first time buyer of the Colorado Pass. Do you know exactly when the Colorado pass goes on sale on Labor Day weekend (8/28, 8/29)? I was planning to leave for Lake Powell on 8/29; however, if the pass is available only on the weekend, I may need to cancel the Lake Powell trip. Thank you in advance for your reply. Aloha, Susan
A: Hi Susan, the pass sales will begin on the Labor Day weekend and will continue (usually) into early November at a slew of locations across the metro area:
Colorado Ski and ...
