Cool Temps

I wasn't ready for it. This week I opened the season's first box of winter gear. I immediately took stock of what was happening around me, and all the tell tale signs of summer in the mountains were still in effect. The Aspen trees are still green, the wildflowers are out in abundance and the back decks of every bar in Breck are still packed at sun down. I am not ready to hang up the bicycles for the summer. The thought of hiking in snow sent a chill down my spine. Why was The North Face trying to shove winter into our already-too-short summer? I was quite offended and begrudgingly began the task of unpacking and organizing all the new product.
I opened boxes containing radically redesigned down jackets, clothing containing new carbon from bamboo technology, merino wool products that looked warm and comfy while just hanging on the rack. They unleashed waterproof/windproof soft shell jackets that stretch like yoga masters and of course the army of old stand byes that I was strangely glad to see again.
Once it was all unpacked I did what any self-respecting shop employee would do. I tried everything on. I tested out new combinations of outerwear and insulating layers. I tested the fit and movement of all the new pieces and before I knew it I was grinning ear to ear. I went home, put in my favorite Warren Miller flick and wondered "Is it winter yet?!?"

Thanks and don't forget www.breckgear.com. We will have all that product for you soon!
