The North Face Summit Dealers Event--January 2008

It's been a while since I have posted, been pretty busy getting BreckGear.com ready for our Spring '08 shipment. We have some great product coming in for this upcoming season, check it out soon!

January 21st through the 23rd may have been the best three days of my life. The North Face Summit Dealers event was being held in Snowbird, Utah. Pete, Greg and I were invited to take part, and we just happened to fly into SLC with 1.5 feet of fresh on the ground up in the canyon. Here is a great video that was shot by one of the other The North Face dealers on the 22nd. There is no great footage of me, but im just outside the frame........

So much snow, yet still no pictures

I would like to apologize on Andy's behalf. After reading his post from yesterday promising a slew of eye-popping photos documenting the great snow we have been receiving, I am sorry to report that both he and I neglected to take our cameras with us today. At least I didn't promise I would. If you need an idea as to how the skiing was for us today, I recommend you pick up the latest issue of Ski, Skiing, or Freeskiing magazine and flip to a page with a large photo spread of a few amazing skiers ripping down some untouched powder with snow billowing over their shoulders. After more than a few runs down the Cucumber Bowl at Breckenridge I had snow plastered all over the front of my pants and jacket up to my chin, and it wasn't all from my face plant off a little rock cliff I tried to drop. Not quite a snorkel day, but beautiful nonetheless. Hopefully one of us will remember our cameras in the next few days so we can prove how beautiful the skiing out here in Summit County really is. In the meantime, stop by BreckGear.com or The North Face store in downtown Breckenridge, and at least you can get the gear you need to rip up and down whatever snow-covered hills you may encounter.

Winter

Sorry to inform you, no new pics to post today, just some great things to tell you about. We recieved a foot of new snow during this last storm and the skiing and riding at Breckenridge has been superb. Well, this is what Greg and Pete told me about yesterday on the hill, I haven't skied Breck for quite a few days. On my day off on Sunday, I ventured over Vail Pass to Beaver Creek to find some freshies. I spent the day exploring this quiet mountain, finding powder stashes all over the place and stopping off at a couple members only clubs for a gourmet lunch and a few afternoon coctails. "Not exactly roughing it". It has been since last year that I skied boot to knee deep powder and Beaver Creek didn't let me down on Sunday. That night I made it over the pass just before it closed till monday morning. After a couple days in Eagle it is VERY nice to come back to our REAL mountain town, Breckenridge.

I will be skiing tomorrow on my day off and I PROMISE to get some great pics, maybe in the windows, maybe up at the Peak 10 shack, you never know. Until then

New Snow in Breckenridge!

This is the perfect time of year in Breckenridge, the town has quieted down from the CRAZY holiday season and the snow is great! You haven't heard from me for a while due to the fact I have been working and not really doing anything fun. We do have some weather coming into the area, and I expect it to be pretty snowy for the next few days. Check out the Weather Report for Breckenridge, Colorado! Looks like we will be getting snow through the weekend, just in time for me to start skiing again on the not so crowded slopes.
