Women’s Anarchy Sunglasses: angel “Craze” are stylish shades

You’ve probably already seen them around the blog and our Instagram feed, but I wanted to take a second to publicly profess how much I adore my Anarchy sunglasses (the women’s line is called “angel“). It’s always sunglass season in Colorado; the glare off the snow in the winter can be equally (if not more) punishing […]

Adventure’s Out There!

Colorful moments that added a little excitement to our season The time I Nordic skied without knowing how to ski You may recall our Nordic skiing outing with friends at Breckenridge.

Breckenridge (2013-03-02)

We started Saturday morning around 9 AM at the Breckenridge Transportation Center. As the bus pulled up we saw the gondola line (to Peak 7 and 8): it stretched all the way to the bus’s doors and the number of people in the way and milling about made us anxious. So, we opted to jump […]

If you’re willing to bear the outdoor elements and the uncertainty of food availability (the fryer can sometimes “freeze”), you can save a buck or […]

Foxy Lady: SpiritHoods Snow Arctic Fox

It’s a faux fur “hat” that has long ear flaps that extend into hand warmers. SpiritHoods was kind enough to send a hood over for me to try out and I’ve been dying for […]

To Snowboarders, With Love

I think snowboarders are awesome. I am totally and completely biased, mostly because I am one of them. And so it is from this pro-boarder perspective that I wish to start out this season with a heartfelt request for us to be better people with whom to share the mountain. We’ve created a reputation for […]

Breckenridge (2012-12-17)

What a great start to the season! The powder yesterday at Breckenridge was better than a lot of snow we saw all last year… and there’s only more to come this week! We had the typical first day of the season “Vail Resorts pass delays”. If its your first day up, plan for a little […]
