5 Cool Things from winter Outdoor Retailer Tradeshow, Salt Lake City, UT

I’m like a kid in a candy store at Outdoor Retailer walking through a stadium sized building loaded with all of next year’s outdoor goodies! I love checking out the colors, the fashion, the new designs and I’m always on the look out for cool stuff. Here are some of my top picks from winter 2011:

Foam Plus

Foam plus is a recycled foam made out of leftover scraps. In the past, this waste was either incinerated or sent to a landfill. These guys are reclaiming it, grinding it up and making it into everything from flip flops to flooring. I love seeing sustainable products – for me, that is one of the most important things I look for in a company, especially in the outdoor market.

Injinji Toesocks

IMG_0017IMG_0018

I love toesocks! It feels so good to have my toes separated, especially inside ski boots. After a long day on the hill, I like being able to spread apart my toes and do some foot yoga. I love how these feel and look and the new colors and stripes are cute.

Smith Optics Skyline sunglasses

Alexa Miller and me looking fly in the Smith Skyline sunglasses. These shades are fashion forward, light on the face with a super technical lens for driving and shredding! A must have from winter OR.

Luna Chocolate Dipped Coconut

Delicious! A brand new flavor. What else can I say? Bringing a little taste of the tropics to the snow. Yum.

Nemo tents and pads

IMG_0010

Their new sleeping pads are super comfy, super light and extremely packable. They are perfect for camping on land or snow and will help you get a good nights rest now matter where you are. They even have a sleeping pad built for two!

  • Making my way to Tahoe for a @bearpawshoes shoot. Stoked! #
  • On set at Lake Tahoe shooting @bearpawshoes catalog. Loving all the new boots. http://yfrog.com/hsawxgvj #
  • Dream house – this would be perfect tucked in at the base of Little Cottonwood Canyon, UT. http://t.co/2FinmF6 #
  • When is #nevada going to ban smoking indoors? It is so 1990-but not vintage cool. #montbleu South Lake Tahoe #
  • Heading home to Salt Lake from Tahoe today after @bearpawshoes shoot. It was so fun to work with models @daniellagrace and @thejessadams. #
  • I've been selected to compete in the 2011 Ski Salt Lake Shootout, Feb.7-12. New rules this year-I'm in it to win it. @visitsaltlake #
  • Geeking out with snow crystals this weekend- 1st day of 3-day Avalanche 1 class at Alta. #fb #
  • Practicing multipe burial searches at Avy 1 class. Love my Ortovox S1 beacon for this. I uncovered 2 buried packs in less than 5 minutes. #
  • I skied jeans today-actually, faux denim leggings under my snowpants. Makes for a seamless transition from #ski wear to streetwear. #fb #
  • Sweet article on @ESPN_Ski about a day I had shooting with @markewitzphoto and writer Gabe Glosband http://tinyurl.com/5ue3yzp #fb #
