There was a lot of cool shit at SIA.
Electric Moon Trooper Helmet
Alright that’s not the actual name of it (maybe it is?).
I did not find out what they call this hilarious helmet mask combo.
Everyone will be peeping the steeze with these.
Vishnu Wet
Kale and Emmett were the coolest dudes I met at SIA.
They are the true (TRUUUUUUUUUuuuuu) definition of building a company based off their passion.
Being a history major, Kale has a deep sense for how and why things come about.
I asked about the idea behind the logo, which is a dead fly.
Definitely a pair of skis I want to see myself on in the future.
CLWR (Colour Wear)
CLWR stands out as the most unique outerwear brand I saw at SIA.
I loved the designs of every piece they had.
Definitely check them out, this is one brand that I really want to do a product test for.
Good tech specs (20k/20k), nice patterns, and a good fit.
What more could you ask for?
I will definitely be picking this up.
But I think it’s sick.
It’s the fashion killah.
O’Neill X Newschoolers Jacket
Obviously can’t leave this one out.
Next years jacket is more laid back than it has been in prior years.
On the real, this jacket is fairly simple and no nonsense.
Comes in two colorways: black and then blue with the lava POP zippers.
Check it out in the product interview from Bishop.
Capita x Spring Break
I know this isn’t skiing, but look at these boards.
Does is actually work and is it practical?
After seeing one of my buddies test the Slush Slasher at the Stratton demo, I can tell you.
Yes to all the above.Let’s see what this brings to the ski world in the future.
The People
Bishop and Travis assembled an amazing content team.
We had an absolute blast and put in work.
We got a little bit reckless at times but we had no real casualties.
Sorry for some blurry photos, the beer was flowing and well, coordination and sight disappears.
Also sorry for the delay, trying to get back east was a pain with the storm.
Ended up in Tampa then Baltimore then Hartford followed by partying and demoing at Okemo and Stratton.
Stratton ski reviews coming soon!
