Sarah Burke - Always

That was an awesome descriptor of what I hope heaven is like! RIP Sarah! She did so much for skiing! Another huge loss this season!

Aaron Larocque: Year in Review

NIce write up and video edits. I just ignored my HW for way too long watching what's next, and every other edit on this page. One question, Aaron....Why are you ashamed of riding trials? ;)

Winter Riding Gear 2012

I used to have a great one from troy lee designs, but I am not sure they make it anymore. Last season, fox racing had a good option for around $100, that might suit your needs. Helly Hansen, an old sponsor I had a few seasons back also made a jacket and pant combo that my friend andy used to ride all the time on his old 250, and also at the DH races here @ the NW cup.

Winter Riding Gear 2012

yeah those sidi ones are terrible. I picked some up from a shop I worked for a few years back since they were on closeout, and they felt terrible riding in the snow! Shimano's shoes are a great choice. I just wish my shop would stock them....sadly, not a high market for winter shoes in the NW....even if they are 'affordable' by comparison. I found my 5.10 impact highs also work well, with the right socks.

Winter Riding Gear 2012

I love my Apex, just saying....Patagonia has a good choice for around $150 US in the softshell dept as well. I think they call it the guide jacket? Arc'teryx also makes some great base layers and jackets. As for Wool, stuff, I have owned a few brands over the years, and am really liking the IBEX stuff, despite the higher price point, and the icebreaker stuff is awesome. Smartwool is another great brand for balaclavas, liner gloves, and little accessories that I find make a good contribution to winter gear. Nice write up, colin.

Colin, a decent softshell jacket will generally do well across the board. I have found my northface apex jacket to work well from mtb to skiing and even moto use. but patagonia does have some great offerings. Also, if you can spring for their stuff OHpaddler, the icebreaker merino wool is awesome. spendy, but awesome.

because they are spendy, and specialized doesn't have any in stock.

Brad! Great edit. Are you doing media stuff for cove this season?

sgsrider commented under unitclothing's video ( Jan 18, 2012 at 14:40 )

because with the exception of a few riders, the builders here are die hard, ride a ridgid 20" bike only. these are their jumps, and they want there crew there. simple as that.
