Nate Zoller made it out to Vermont to check out Homesick 2.0 and link up with the team to get a taste of what snowboarding on the East Coast is all about.

The idea of extending the life and application of our clothing has become more and more prevalent. Much to the credit of the makers, sewers, crafters, and textile workers who have carried on their traditions and foraged fresh ones of their own. Mario’s work, in tandem with the initial makers/designers, stands in opposition to the familiar push for more and more; purchase, wear, discard, repeat.

You have surely heard the term and practiced the act in the context of textiles. Something as simple as throwing a jacket over a tee or adding tights under your snowpants are good examples of how integral layering is in our day to day dress. Past that, why is it important and what is the point to building a solid layering system? Think of your layers as a micro-shelter. Your own personal eco-system that impacts how you experience temperature, moisture levels, and physical output in any given environment. At its core, an effective and appropriate layering system will help regulate temperature, keep you dry, provide full range of motion, and protect you from the elements; keeping you warm and comfortable. A good system means more fun and safety outdoors and more time connecting with what you love.

In 1993, Rick Wilcox and Nick Yardley created the Mount Washington Valley Ice Fest and it has been the primetime gathering place for Northeast ice ever since. Showcasing an amazing array of clinics, guides, climbs, screenings, athletes, and gear demos, the event has grown to become an access point for any and all who wish to find their way to ice and heed the call of the cold.

Neon Wave of Stowe welcomed Patagonia and Stowe Trails Partnership to kickoff the first of many communal events.

Some 280 miles southeast of Rochester and 90 miles north of New York City, a stoney ridge rises above the surrounding countryside. The light, sandy colored cliffs stand in contrast to the dense green forests that swallow the rest of the earth below. A window into the geological history of this mysterious rock spine and how it came to be shaped.
