COLD WEATHER GEAR: COLUMBIA OMNI-HEAT POWDER BOWL PARKA - 12.04.2010

Submitted by jp on Tue, 12/07/2010 - 19:28

We are pretty selective about gear reviews at WKS and turn down a lot of requests, because most gear on the market is complete crap! We were pretty excited when Columbia sent us one of their Omni-Heat powder bowl parka's. Upon box opening, the jacket is very well made and super heavy. The Omni-Heat layer is removable, which is good because this jacket is unbelievably warm. I couldn't even have it on during the drive up to the trailhead with the windows open. We rode on a complete graybird snowy day, around 25 degrees F and I was very warm. Shedding layers.. The quality of the jacket is top notch and I am stoked on the zipper construction. Every jacket I've had the zippers break usually in the first 2 days. Why build a $400 hundred dollar jacket with trashy components? Not here...Great product and good style, this is the ultimate jacket for the super cold days, and the outer layer works great for all around conditions. We mentioned before in the short gear review, this is a must have for the arsenal.





BACKCOUNTRY SNOWMOBILING: NEW ZONE AND EXPLORATION! 12.4.2010

Submitted by jp on Sat, 12/04/2010 - 22:09

6 of us spent the last 10 hrs boondocking, chainsawing, getting stuck and busting into a new zone! Too bad the weather wasn't blue but the more snow the better. Epic day and route finding, deep snow. Can't wait to go back...

BACKCOUNTRY SNOWBOARDING ADVENTURE: CENTRAL COLORADO 12.01.2010

Submitted by jp on Thu, 12/02/2010 - 08:23

Part of the motivation behind weknowsnow is to promte snow sports and the love of the backcountry! We get pretty stoked out when we bring others out into the backcountry for the first time. Awesome day with great friends! Looks like we've got a couple of future shredders and snow machiners on the horizon:


Clouds


Reebs shredding

The pass is looking pretty good snow wise, still pretty boney. The cat op is up and running so the road is in good shape. Freshies in spots but super windy on the ridges so it is getting crusty. The heater should make it back up to the Red Fox as well. Enjoy!
