Sundance is descending upon the mountains of Park City, and that means seriously fabulous skiing. Actually, anyone within a couple hours drive of a snowy mountain can indthe rush of rushing down the slopes. What we need now is high tech gear to keep us warm, slim, comfortable and colorful when we want. We’ve pulled 10 pieces that will do that while leaving you with enough spending dough for a lift ticket.

Blaze as bright as the snow you ski upon with color blocked snow pants. Its Triple Trail three-layer construction wicks your sweat away and keeps the snow at bay. With stretch at the knee, you can hit those jumps comfortably.

Made with snowboarders in mind, there's shin cushioning and seamless toes to comfort the points that ail the common boarder.

The North got a Face lift. With a new design team, Heatseeker Eco insulation, HyVent waterproof breathability, and concealed pockets, this jacket is fully functional and sleek.

A smaller fit than most, these bright sun blockers are fog, shatter and scratch resistant. They also are optimized for cloudy day vision.

You want your friends to spot you easily as you fly past them on the more advanced runs. Not because you're so much better than them, but you never learned to slalom. Wear a neon helmet to protect your precious head, and help will find you immediately should you need it.

Quilted and watercolored, this glove not only has two stretchy layers and pizzazz, but also a hidden stash zip pocket and a built-in goggle squeegee.

Your brightest cashmere scarf is coming with you on the slopes, but truth be told, you could use a little more warmth. Hand and feet warmers are a no-brainer, but now you can use this face-warming mask underneath your scarf for a hot boost.

For the splurge, get your under layer just right. This snow jumpsuit with stirrups will stir up your layering in a very positive way.

FASHION PORN: Boobs and Butts for the Boarders

Kirby Marzec — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 22:15:59 +0000

As an avid snowboarder, I’ll be the first to admit that the sport and all of its participants have a pretty bad reputation. Ask any skier on the “ski only” slopes of Vail, Colorado, and they will most likely tell you that boarders are inconsiderate, dangerous, rude and obnoxious, as we zoom past them, nearly running into their 5-year-olds on ski-leashes. Thanks to Burton’s new line of boards, “Love,” featuring seventies Playboy models with a tagline of ”I’m on the market for someone who’s looking to score serious action, no matter where they like to stick it,” they can now call us perverted pigs too. To be quite honest, I though the line was pretty funny with a rather clever headline. But the most entertaining thing about these new Burton boards is the backlash from the public. Not only is Burlington City Council of Burlington, Vermont protesting the use of such boards, both Stowe Mountain and Killington Resorts have forbidden all employees from riding these boards. Protestors told Boston.com that the idea of a man standing on a naked woman is terribly offensive and that the proximity of these boards is too close to children (wouldn’t want a kids snowboard instructor teaching little Jimmy with one of these now would we?) And to put the cherry on top of the sundae, the Girl Scouts Council is even getting involved with the protesting! What, are they going to get a pin on their vest for protesting snowboards? Besides, we all know that some Girl Scouts sell more than thin mints when then go door to door…

Thanks NY Mag!

And The Warholics Keep On Flowing…

I think it’s been made clear that the, often overrated, work of Andy Warhol is becoming widely used and revealed; however, until this stops, we’ll keep on telling you. Brands across the board refuse to stop the sale of designs featuring Warhol’s images; in fact, some designers are just joining the pack! What is this? The long list of designers and stores include Diane Von Furstenberg, Levi’s, Burton Snowboards, The Gap, Sphinx, Seiko, Royal Elastics, Loop, Paul Frank, Bond No. 9 and Barney’s. Some of the designers are new to the Warhol scene; however, some just keep at it. Barney’s featured Warhol images in 2006 and recently they’ve swapped the images for “inspiration quotes” on Warhol’s behalf.

I’ve decided something: Commercial things really do stink. As soon as it becomes commercial for a mass market it really stinks.
