Fritz Simmons Loves Smartwool

Thanks Mavis & SmartWool! ilovethelittleguy

Frozen. The movie.

“It will do for skiing what ‘Jaws’ did for swimming.” Apparently they should have been wearing layers from Polartec/Cloudveil/Smartwool/Spyder.

Behind the Lens with Casimiro

If you thought the life of a photojournalist was all about shooting surfers in bikinis on the beach with a really, really long lens….this video will do nothing to prove you wrong. Steve Casimiro is certainly living the dream – he’s an accomplished journalist, photographer and blogger who regularly travels to some of the most [...]

Ski Fitness Euro Style

During these last few weeks of pre-ski season weather and shoulder season depression, many mountain town locals get creative with their training.

Race Across the Sky Trailer

That aside, this trailer for ‘Race Across the Sky’ is pretty sweet. The HD footage is spectacular–especially the helicopter shots–and movies [...]

S_UP_’D Waterfall

A little while back, I posted how my buddy Hobie has been pushing the limits of Stand Up Paddleboarding, logging first descents on whitewater runs like the Numbers and Gore Canyon. Now it seems our friend and perennial ‘guy in the van down by the river’ Dan Gavere, has one-upped him. Behold the SUP waterfall [...]
