travel

I have a tendency to collect bags. Carry-on luggage, in particular. The problem is that no one bag seems to do it all. I kinda feel like Goldilocks – the bag’s too big or too small, never just right. Lately, though, I’ve been gravitating toward the same bag because it does everything I need it to, and that’s the Burton Wheelie Flight Deck.

I always pack my ski gear in a duffel bag before I head up to the hill. It just seems like it’s the easiest way to keep everything together and makes transporting simple. I thought I had the right bag for my gear until I tried the Thule Crossover 70L Duffel Bag and realized that my life could have been so much easier.

Having the right luggage for your ski travels can help turn a good trip into a great one. There’s nothing more frustrating than having luggage that isn’t right for your gear or is hard to haul around when you also have a ski bag in tow.

It's that time of year to get your seasons passes before they raise the fall prices. Our friends at the Ghee are offering the full unrestricted pass for $599 if you get it before September 11th, 2011.

Wondering what to do this spring? Squaw Valley ski resort is coming off record snowfalls this spring and decided to extend their season through May. That is pretty sick. You can ski Squaw for $4.42 a day. Sound ridiculous? It is.

I love this boot... it has the look of a classic tent bootie, but has a durable and light weight rubber sole that can put on some serious miles. While traveling I often try and minimize the number of shoes I bring, but on a ski trip you have to have your ski boots, a pair of shoes and some sort of boot to kick around town while its dumping.
