    Wow. I just realized my original post never saved so I apologize for the late post. 

    Thank you very much for the awesome win. As a longtime Suunto user I cant believe I actually win the Baro 9. I cant wait to pit it to the test. Thank you Backcounty Skiing Canada and Suunto for the awesome watch. It couldn't have come at a better time. 

    Regards

    Derek
