Thanks Northface for the Thermobal Jacket!!!

  • 2014-05-08 19:19:46

    Well, just recieved my jacket about a week ago. Been meaning to post up a thank you to north face but just keep getting busy on trips and such. Just got back from a few days up at Egypt Lake shelter back behind Sunshine. My good friend Marcus, author of confessions of a ski bum, showed me around the area and man is it a fun place to play.


    The jacket worked really nice, on a few of the bootpacks it was super deep snow and actually fairly cold, i kept the jacket on for most of it and even though i was sweating and it definitely got a bit damp it kept my nice and warm no problem, with a down my layer would have been rendered useless by thoes conditions.


    Anywhoo, we skied a bunch of couloirs and summited a peak not really a huge story but it was rad here are some pics.
