Mother Nature brings Colorado a Christmas Present

Mother Nature decided to deliver an early christmas present to Colorado the other night.  I know here in Steamboat we got 26” at the summit overnight.  In Aspen, they got 19” the same night and then another 7” to match up to our 26” of white gold.  The snow is falling heavy all over Colorado and there is plenty of it.  We are just ahead of our snow marker for this time of year last season and last season we set a snow record.  I am hoping the rest of the season follows suit.

WTF - Contests & Prizes

I’m sure you’ve heard this bitch before.  Girls don’t get big enough prizes, and some contests don’t have a girls division at all.  However, my friends keep telling me stories about how bad this is, so I’ve decided that I will take advantage of my position of power as a super important editor of an awesome and highly influential magazine and bitch talk some specific incidents. 

Wait, what’s that?  I’m not super important?  Dammit, when did that happen.  Was my Mom just lying to me?  That seems pretty unlikely.

Hoodie Tuesday II

This hoodie is so sly that it doesn’t even have a hood. I guess that technically it makes it a jacket or fleece sans hoodie status. But, that doesn’t stop me from liking it!

WTF - Magazine Photography

The other day, we got in our new issue of a certain magazine for snowboarders.  My boyfriend opened it first and exclaimed, “WTF, why are there all these photos and no ads?” That sounded a bit suspicious so I went over and had a look.  Turns out there were plenty of ads… what was missing were the articles and the words.  This was verified by the cover, which told us that this was the “Year In Photos” issue.

Hoodie Tuesday I

Did you know that there are as many phobias as exist situations and things? Well, you better believe it. In fact, there’s an entire site dedicated to the art of creating absurd phobias…er…I mean there’s a site that lists all the phobias in existence.www.phobialist.com. During the winter I fall spell to Ombrophobia, fear of rain, which the forecast predicts here in southern New England for the next couple of days. Call me optimistic, or maybe just extremely unprepared, but I don’t even own a raincoat- just umbrellas.
Apparently humans aren’t the only ones with fears. Hoodies have them too! In fact, today’s hoodie hates water. Now, it doesn’t have gore-tex to protect itself from the rain, it’s just a hoodie. However, it doesn’t soak up water like nearly every other hoodie. Holy hydrophobic hoodies batman! I’m talking about the Volcom Easy Air Hydro hoodie.

Annie get your Beanie…thing.

I don’t know about where you live, but in New York, it’s gotten cold. And on cold days, there’s nothing worse then being unprepared for the elements. Remember that scene in A Christmas Story where the mom dresses Ralphie’s brother up in all of that snow gear, and by the end, he’s so bundled up that he can’t put his arms down? Yeah, sometimes that’s how I feel before I head outside. And being the scatterbrained person I am, I sometimes end up wandering around my apartment looking for various pieces of my “Damn it’s cold out” clothes.

15000ft Free Fall

Have you ever wanted to jump out of an airplane? Ever had the desire to feel like you’re floating? Like the rush, but don’t want to feel like you’re falling? Or perhaps you just wanted to look stunning in a jumpsuit? If you answered yes to any of these questions skydiving is for you.
