Base Layers- The Best Way To Keep Warm This Winter

Posted by Dana on January 30, 2013 in General, Online Offers | 1 Comment

There is no better way to keep warm then have the proper equipment and it all starts with what you have underneath. No, we are not talking about a extra layer of of fat gained over the holiday, we are talking about technical Base layers.

Today’s base layers are nothing like your old Cotton Waffle long Johns. These bad boys are designed to be comfortable, dry fast, wick moister away from skin, and most of all keep you warm and dry out on the hill.

Types of Base layers:

  1. Wool Base Layers -  Wool is a natural antimicrobial (meaning less odor) and offers more warmth then a synthetics base layer.
  2. Synthetic Base Layers -  Are light weight, dry fast, great for all conditions, easy to care for, and they are about half the price of wool.

When The Weather Turns To $h%7, Use $*#T.

Posted by Georgantic on January 24, 2013 in General, Snowboarding, Staff Interests | Leave a comment

Global warming got-ya down? Don’t get all poopy about it, its bad for business.

There is not much I can say about this issue accept “the S%^t has hit the fan.”

Snow Bowl is  now the first ski resort in the world to use 100 percent  sewage effluent water to make its snow.  I have my reservations and rooted feelings about this issue which brings up some very deep questions about our love of nature and our tireless efforts to try to control it.

So if your planning going to Snow Bowl this year they are few thing you need to keep in mind:

  1. Don’t eat the yellow Snow!
  2. Only ride on days that are below Freezing.
  3. Wash your gear after riding. 
  4. Skip the Spring Fling. (Water skipping, beer and poop don’t go well together)
  5. The staff is not stoned they just have pinkeye.

Please read and advocate to your peers about your feelings and position on the subject because it is now very real. For more Information visit the www.nytimes.com.
