Insane Performance and Comfortable??

Let's face it, ski boots are not always as comfortable as some people would like. You sometimes might choose a more comfortable boot which sacrifices performance, or choose a performance boot which might sacrifice comfort. Finally your days of cramped toes or sloppy fits are over! The Dalbello Kryptoon Boot line up with "ID" liners is your answer.  The secret is all in the "ID" liner which is manufactured by a company called Intuition Liners.  These babies are one hundred percent custom once we are  done with them. The liner gets baked in a convection oven for 15 minutes and expands like crazy. We then mold your foot in them with an extra toe cap on to generate just enough toe room so you can wiggle them. The rest of the foot is imprinted perfectly. The result is an extremely comfortable boot with a precision hold of the foot causing the ultimate performance!

Smith IO....take the guess work out of goggle picking


It is a question we get here at our Vermont Ski Shop daily, what lens is the best?  There are lots of ways to answer that question but the bottom line is it depends on the day. What works great on the sunny day usually will make you suffer when the clouds roll in. Likewise what will give you the "x ray vision" to find the bumps on a typical Vermont cloudy day will usually leave you squinting and swearing at the salesman on a sunny day.  The lens that is marketed as a "do everything lens" usually is not stellar in the sun or flat light leaving you with fair vision in either condition.  The only true answer is to have one lens for the sunny days and one for the cloudy days.  In the past of course that would mean buying two pair of goggles which was great for ski shops, not great for your wallet. Smith has answered the call with their IO goggle.  This goggle is sold with two lens, one for sunny days and one for cloudy days.  They have made a frameless design which makes interchanging the lens a no brainer. Finally the one goggle which can truly do everything!

GoPro...Film From Your Perspective!!

The bragging about how sick your line was has now taken on a new dimension.  POV (point of view) cameras now enable you to not only tell people how sick you are but show them first hand.   GoPro  is leading the charge in the category with amazing HD video quality and mounting bracket which can attach to about anything you could dream of. Not to mention they are waterproof to 180 feet so you can do just about anything with them!  Check out the video above shot entirely with the GoPro HD, you will see what we mean, they are sick!
