Well, the WildSnow clan is off to a backcountry cabin for Christmas holiday. Back soon. Meanwhile, I just want to thank all of you for making WildSnow happen over the last 12 months. That’s the best Christmas gift I can imagine. It’s been our biggest year ever, and we’ve tried to step up to the plate and deliver something new almost every weekday, as well as doing a huge amount of back-end work that includes everything from spam defense, to constant design tweaks, to editing our deep content. We’ll keep it going, see you next week!

Thanks everyone for a wonderful year! Merry Christmas!

The Dawson clan thanks everyone for a wonderful year! Merry Christmas!

    Looks like that is a Feathered Friends Jacket! Rock on! It is great to see you guys supporting companies that make outstanding gear in the USA.

    thanks.

    That jacket looks a little too big on you Lou. I’m not saying it makes you look fat or anything…

    Just kidding. I unfortunately ordered a Feathered Friends jacket a size too big last year and just plain sucks. Such a beautiful jacket, a size too big. :sad:

    Happy holidays.

    Nice family photo! Merry Christmas. Louie, those cateye sunglasses were popular before you were even born.

  4. Greg Louie December 25th, 2009 1:04 pm

    Cateye? Those look like old-school Vuarnets to me. Still prized by those in the know; word has it a certain Verbier-based guide has dozens of NOS pairs stashed away.

    Classic shades, goatee and OR hardshell? B’ham steeze for sure!

    Vuarnet Cateye Skilynx glasses are going for $144.95. Just googled it.

    Merry Christmas Lou. Hope you and your family are well, warm, and enjoying the snow. DC

    Merry Yuletide and Happy New Year for yours too!

    They’re Bolle Cateyes. And yes, they are about 5 years older than me.

Got something to say? Please do so.
