POWDER ALERT!!!!!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words and I couldn't agree more. This is Kelly.

Breckenridge has been smacked with the storm we have been waiting on, the resort is claiming 20 inches of fresh in the past week with more on the way. The local Breckgear.com crew could not be happier and we are making the most of all the snow.

As you can see we are charging the mountain but we certainly don't let the sun going down stop our fun. With all this snow literally laying around it was time to break out the shovels and make our backyards into the ultimate "apres ski" hangout. First to be built was a log "spine" or back to back quarter-pipes. This is accomplished by making a triangle of logs and covering them with snow.

Here Austin and Kelly land some pretty picturesque stalls.

In this shot, Kelly learns to fly as he uses the spine as a jump. Both riders are staying comfy through the build and jib session with The North Face soft shells.

Soft shells are jackets and pants made from a highly breathable stretch materials . They are ideal for the active outdoors man because they allow for a much larger comfort range. I jasper the dog have the ultimate outerwear piece but these guys seemed to have a pretty close second. They stayed comfortable while shoveling snow and hefting logs all afternoon and hiking up and down the yard well into the night. Temperatures dropped but the fun continues with the right gear.

If your are looking for the perfect piece for aerobic activities check out the Apex Bionic Jacket. This piece is windproof and water resistant, lightweight and bulk free.

If you don't find exactly what you are looking for or you would like to get one of the pieces in the pictures give us a call on our toll free number 1-800 TNF BRECK.

Soon to come...SNOW SCULPTING
