halley’s rapid play: snowmaking tour

First video shot with Mountain Creek’s new HD camcorder – Canon HF200 . So far, I really love this camera – still trying to figure out the import/export settings and compatibility issues with my version of Final Cut Express.

halley’s rapid play: think snow

JibLab Photo Sesh

Took some photos at the JibLab yesterday. That burly stud toting the welder is Marc Tremain, Terrain Park Manager at Mountain Creek. They were giving some older jibs a face lift by sanding, welding and painting steel – expect them to look uniformly different come winter. Everyone loves themselves a little turquoise.

Psst – video footy [...]

Holden 2010 Outerwear

When you think mp3 player, you think iPod. Same goes for tight riding pants. If you want waterproof boot cut pants, you shop Holden.
All the women’s pants look sweet, but I’m a sucker for hemp material making Holden’s Arcadia Cargo Pant my favorite out of the group. The pants are available in a few colors [...]

2010 Signal Snowboards

Get stoked, ladies. Signal Snowboards created a women’s park deck. Check out the Vita Park – counterpart to the men’s Park Series.
The Vita Park is packed the tech found in the Park Series, a smaller waist width and proportional geometry specific to a woman’s needs. Schwing! Plus, it’s got a soft flex and a legit [...]

Roxy Athletix

It’s no secret – Roxy makes attractive, technical gear. Enter Roxy Athletix, a new line chock full of pants, shirts and sports bras. No more ditching a workout on account of ugly running shorts.

Burton 2010 » Binding Haul

Maybe it was the bright blue that initially caught my eye. Maybe it was the “what-the-hell-kind-of-name-is-that” name. Whatever the case, Burton’s Molotov EST binding looks hawt.

Weight, flex, and price are things to consider… but if the binding isn’t comfortable, you’re eff’d. I like the new Park-Specific ASYM Superstrap. The shape’s been changed and the padding [...]

Bonfire Snow 2010 Jackets

Bonfire Snow’s 2010 site is live – lots of colorways, patterns & styles. Hey-oooh!
The Astro

A down puffy with 15,000mm waterproofing, ninja cuffs and other subtle details to keep you on the hill all day long.

686 2010 » Beanies

I’m all about the slouchy, saggy beanies. Bonus points if it’s got a pom pom. 686 nailed it with these two domes.
With a Merlot vibe, the Twist Beanie in Wine is sick. This pretty little number is 30% wool, 70% acrylic – burly. Should keep you warm on those gnarly, snot-cicle, mommy-hold-me kind of [...]
