It's warm and sunny out, it hasn't snowed in over a week, what does that mean for mountain conditions? Hard pack most everywhere on top of an ice layer from the continual melting and refreezing everyday, unpredictable chunk in the trees and steeps, and corduroy groomers everywhere else. A perfect day for snowboarding on the blues. After fighting with my boots in the morning (they'd stiffened up after a long off-season), had a great afternoon cruising the groomers until the wind picked up and they started icing over. Loving the new Giro Fuse helmet that Carrie got me for Christmas and my new Under Armour thermals. Even with the super warm weather, I stayed comfortably regulated all day...yay!

Nice coool helmet..like Darwin postulated, it takes a long time to evolve from a baseball cap to this high-tech head-cover.
