There’s been quite a buzz about Squaw Valley going around lately…the home of the 1960 Winter Olympics has recently merged with Alpine Meadows & will soon be the 2nd largest ski resort in North America. Enter at our Giveaway table at the stadium and you & a friend can ride both resorts and get a good night’s sleep at the Squaw Valley Lodge.
Named Most Charming Resort by SKI Magazine, Telluride Ski Resort is “Unmatched in North America” for many reasons. Telluride is a great mountain for any age skier or boarders & lift lines are virtually non-existant. A good day on-snow is almost guaranteed; the mountain gets about 300 days of sunshine & more than 300 inches of snow a year. Win our drawing & you’ll be heading to the Mountain Lodge at Telluride to spend 2 days on the slopes.
Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is offering an epic winter getaway complete with 5 days of skiing or boarding, lodging at Snow King Resort & airfare on American Airlines. Located in Teton Village, WY the resort offers 2 mountains, 2500 acres of in-bounds terrain, tons of backcountry riding & is home to the only Burton Stash park in the Rockies. Keep your fingers crossed!
When you think of California, a ski resort might not be the 1st thing that comes to mind, let alone a resort with one of the longest seasons in North America. Mammoth Mountain is typically open from November to June, getting 400 inches of snow and more than 300 sunny days on average. Win our Mammoth giveaway and you’ll be skiing/riding for 2 days and staying at 9,000ft elevation in the Mammoth Mountain Inn.

2012 Fresh Arrivals: Armada
On 08, Nov 2011 | No Comments | In Fresh Arrivals | By Lisa
Armada was formed with the intent of filling a void in the ski industry. Its founders (including Tanner Hall, JP Auclair & photographer Chris O’Connell) wanted to push the envelope with the progression of the sport & needed equipment that could surpass the park, conquer the entire mountain and still be up for backcountry lines. The brand’s hardgoods & outerwear are all designed to meet these demands and are created, tested, modified, evaluated & inspired by Armada’s team. If Tanner Hall, Jacob Wester, JP Auclair, Phil Casabon, Riley Leboe, Gus Kenworthy & Mike Hornbeck back it, you know the 2012 collection is legit.
1. The T-Hall Signature Ski has a positive camber and is stiff underfoot with soft nose & tail flex, making it perfect for laps in the park. This jib-specific model was chosen as an Editor’s Pick by SKI Magazine, who recommends this stable yet playful ski for Intermediate-Advanced skiers in the park or on hard snow.
2. Armada’s Departure Jacket is a great, versatile option that’s the perfect balance of function & comfort. The MegaRex 2L 10k waterproofing & SuperFlow Lining are perfect for moderately to highly active skiers, while the retractable pass pocket, jacket to pant interface, Microfleece chin guard & external access music pocket are just a few of the many features that’ll have you wondering where Armada outerwear has been all your life.
3. Top it all off with the Fine Knit Stripe Beanie & keep your head happy throughout winter. This slouchy style has wide color-blocking in attention-grabbing hues and feels soft & 0% itchy on your ears. It’s a win-win.
4. If you’re ready to ditch the juvenile low-sagging look, but definitely not trying to cram into something skin-tight you’ll love Armada’s Velocity Pant. Boasting the brand’s Progressive Fit, the more mature looking Velocity has clean, subtle details and an epic fabric guaranteed to ‘upgrade ya’ Beyonce-style. Slight tailoring in the knee with just the right amount of room in the hip & lower leg fits great – and still gives off a hint of the OG vibe. (Finally, the big-boy pants you’ve always wanted!)
5. Don’t let the slim fit deceive you: the womens’ Decker Pant is packed with features.With its 100% seam sealing, 20K waterproofing, reinforced boot cuffs & RECCO Avalanche System, you can confidently take on everything from mild to brutal conditions. Load up the cargo pockets with some snacks, SPF & whatever else you wanna stash and you’ll be ready for almost anything.
6. This year, Armada proudly introduced their first women’s outerwear line. The brand felt ladies were forced to sacrifice fashion when seeking functional, technical features and were often left out in the cold (literally) when opting for more stylish, feminine pieces. Every jacket & pant in the collection was designed by female athletes who know what makes quality, performance gear that can stand up to demanding days on the hill. The Kindle Jacket is a prime example – it’s got a great fit that’s subtly shaped to flatter you, but easily accommodates all your movements. PLUS it’s loaded with features including RECCO Avalanche Rescue System, MegaRex 2L 20K waterproofing, 100% seam sealing and Armada’s warm, breathable Superflo Lining System.
7. Layer the ladies’ Taiga Fleece beneath your outerwear to make the transition from on-snow to apres seamless. This lightweight pullover is so soft, you’ll want to wear it 24/7. Featuring a drawstring hood with an overlapping cowl neck, cuff thumb holes and a kangaroo pocket that hides a top-secret cell phone pocket inside – it’s no wonder the Taiga’s one of our favorite ladies’ hoodies this season.
8. Every skier knows that just because the lifts are closed or the sun went down, doesn’t mean your mind isn’t still on-snow. Armada’s Represent Fleece lets outsiders know where your head’s at – plus it’s super-warm & comfy. It might not work as an excuse the next time you forget to call your girlfriend, but with 360g fleece & hand warmer pockets she probably won’t object to a nice cozy hug either…
