Winter is Near...

Maybe the title should actually be "Winter is Here..." but today it was so warm that I was sweating. So for now, I'll just stick with near. 

Anyways, with winter fast approaching I find myself constantly thinking of ski season, reading ski magazines, and stopping to take a look inside any store that sells mountain lifestyle apparel and accessories. I consider it continuing education :) 

This year I am thrilled because it is time to get a new pair of skis. For the past five years I have skied on a pair of K2 Public Enemy's. They have been well-used and well-loved but it is time for these pup's to retire. This fall I has been full of extensive online research suplemented by magazines and gut instinct to help me choose my next pair of skis. It was a tough choice but in the end I went with these beauties.
They are the Rossignol S5 Barras ski. The skis are said to be one of the best all-mountain twintips of the season and were given rave reviews by testers from various ski magazines. As you can imagine I'm stoked to ski on these gems so bring on the snow!

BTW - My plan this winter is to ski in 3 states. Utah and Colorado have already been penciled in. Now where should I go for the 3rd place?
