BD Mercury Mitts!!!

BD Mercury Mitts will make a supersonic man and/or woman out of anyone...
Its true... just think about it! Anyway...
When these came in, we were all a little confused as to what exactly qualified them as cosmetic 2nds. They looked brand spanking new. They even smelled pretty nice. We couldn't detect anything even remotely second rate about these so called "cosmetic 2nds," so we called Black Diamond and got the low-down. Apparently, they somehow got a little dusty and just slightly moldy in the warehouse. So BD washed them all to perfection and sold them to us at an incredible price. Naturally, we are passing this amazing savings on to you!! 


Not sure about this deal? Just ask yourself, “What would Freddy Mercury do?” 




Surely he would have you buy at least one pair…preferably seven or eight.
The man is a super epic rock legend who travels at the speed of light, for heavens sake. His anthems are blasted at nearly every American sporting event because Americans, much like Freddy, know that we are the champions. And we will have you know that we will ROCK YOU (soooo hard). We’ll rock your face off – believe that.
In conclusion: If you don’t like sports, you are not an American. If you don’t like Freddy Mercury, you are a crappy excuse for an American. If you don’t take advantage of these amazing saving on Mercury Mitts, Freddy Mercury will be very disappointed in you - and in turn, the collective American consciousness will be, as well.

So here you go:

Black Diamond MERCURY MITT (2nds)

Black Diamond Women's MERCURY MITT (2nds)

 

Make America proud, and have a Happy Thanksgiving,

Kahtoola – you need these to be cool

Imagine it’s the first day of the ninth grade. All the kids have Kahtoolas and you show up wearing yak-trax or something. Ugg, just imagine…devastating. From there your life is a downward spiral…

Age 15 you develop irreparable self-esteem issues that make life very trying in nearly every way. Existence is painful.

Age 16 the D&D club and band geeks alternate days beating you up, taking your lunch money, and giving you the most atomic, underwear shredding wedgies imaginable.

Age 17 you are expelled from highschool for being wicked-lame

Age 18 your parents kick you out of the house and give you with an invoice for all the shredded underwear they had to replace. You are unable to pay so they disown you and send collections after you. You are unable to pay and fall deep into debt. The interest rates are unreal.

Age 23 you are fired from Wendy’s for hurting the company’s image and being a downer.

The rest of your life becomes exponentially more intolerable with each passing year. The last notable event occurs at age 46 when you are laying face down on a cold snowy sidewalk being slowly trampled by a bunch of merry pedestrians wearing Kahtoolas. In spite of your dire straights you can’t help but to chuckle a bit at the irony, chuckling turns into hysterical laughter (the first in years), then fades into pitiful sobbing. You are then arrested for disturbing the peace and a public display of suckery. The Judge doesn’t care for you at all and you spend the rest of your life in prision.

The End

The point being: you need these:

Kahtoola KTS STEEL Crampon 
Kahtoola KTS ALUMINUM Crampon

Kahtoola MICROSPIKES

Have a great week!

Minus 33 makes you wicked strong…and warm

Minus 33, it seems like an off brand, nobody really knows who they are. They don’t really have the reputation or branding mastery of Smartwool, Icebreaker or Patagonia but their products are every bit as great…perhaps even more so. Who knows, maybe it’s because they’re so content just wallowing in their wool garments all day, drinking hot co-co and watching syndicated telivesion that they have no drive to further their brand and gain market share. Actually, that’s probably it; I had to stop wearing my Minus 33 stuff to work due to the warm n’ fuzzy lethargy that it induced.

Ironically, wearing minus 33 gives you super-human strength. So when you awake from your third nap of the day you’ll just want to start pumping iron and breaking concrete with your face… 

Jason did just that

And Lisa....

Lisa got so hyped up she started dry-tooling on our climbing wall and didn't stop for like four and a half hours. It started out being pretty funny, but by hour three we were all a little concerned.  

Anyway, Here is a list of out wonderful Minus 33 selection:

Minus 33 MERINO BALACLAVA

Minus 33 Men's EXPEDITION WEIGHT FULL ZIP

Minus 33 Men's MIDWEIGHT Long Sleeve Crew

Minus 33 Men's MIDWEIGHT Bottoms

Minus 33 Men's MIDWEIGHT 1/4 Zip Long Sleeve Crew

Minus 33 Women's MIDWEIGHT Long Sleeve Crew

Minus 33 Women's MIDWEIGHT Bottoms

Stay Warm,

It’s winter!!!!! And we have a whole mess of Scarpa to go with it

A lot of you have probably been enjoying the warm weather in Denver recently. Riding your bike, climbing some rocks, maybe just hanging out on the porch of your favorite neighborhood hipster coffee shop. Whatever it is you’ve been doing… you probably didn’t realize that it’s actually ski season. But I’m here to tell you that it is. No seriously, it is.

The last week of October went out with a bang. Loveland opened up on Oct 24, then the faucet promptly switched from “off” to “firehose” and it snowed a solid 3 feet. I was lucky enough to get out for 3 days of stormy touring in the usual early season locales. Here’s a screenshot from my helmet cam:


OK, I don’t really have a helmet cam. Yet. But that’s what it would have looked like if I did.

But anyway, I didn’t write this to brag. I wrote this because there’s another storm on its way. And I guarantee the skiing is going to be good, and it’ll be even better if you have the right gear. And that’s where SCARPA comes in.

We have a HUGE selection of Scarpa boots for pretty much every brand of telewhacker or cheater (AT) skier out there. Let’s start with my favorite:
SCARPA T-RACE
Just look at this boot. Look at it!
Besides just looking dead sexy, it’s a really damn good ski boot. I have about a half dozen days in on the new T-Race, and Scarpa hit a home-freaking-run. Same flex and performance as the white & red Candycane T-Races from years past, but with lots of improvements. The new tongue liner is even more comfortable, the buckles are way easier to use and tighten, there’s a little plastic guard on the instep cables, and the new “Active Power Strap” feels just as solid as the old Booster Strap but is way lighter. Oh yeah, and there’s a WALK MODE!!! And yes, it’s pretty much just as stiff as the old fixed cuff, but now makes the boot way more comfortable for longer tours, especially if there’s much flat ground involved. That’s the long way of saying you should buy a pair.

If you’re one of the folks that prefers a little softer feel in your tele boots, we’ve got options for you too:
SCARPA MEN'S T1
SCARPA MEN’S T2 ECO
SCARPA WOMEN’S T2 ECO

And for the ladies, a whole mess of discounted T1s:
SCARPA WOMEN’S T1 (09/10 closeout)

Much as I hate to admit it, AT skiers are people too. And because they're people, they need ski boots. As luck would have it, Scarpa makes really nice AT boots.
SCARPA MOBE (this thing is stiff… and Dynafit compatible!)
SCARPA SKOOKUM (less stiff, but definitely tours better)
SCARPA MAESTRALE (holy light weight!)

Some sweet discounted boots for men too:
SCARPA HURRICANE (09/10 closeout... no walk mode… but can be retrofitted with the new Powerblock Tour walk mode)
SCARPA SPIRIT 4 (09/10 closeout... touring goodness)
SCARPA SPIRIT 3 (09/10 closeout... lighter softer touring goodness)
SCARPA TORNADO PRO (with Intuition liner!)
SCARPA TORNADO PRO (with Plusfit liner)

Let’s not forget discounts for the ladies:
SCARPA DOMINA (10/11 cosmetic second)
SCARPA DIVA (09/10 closeouts & cosmetic seconds)
SCARPA MAGIC (closeouts)

That powder isn’t going to ski itself, you know.
