They’re fat, blue, and kinda look like waterskis. But beyond first impressions, the Black Diamond Megawatt ski is both Mega fun and Mega versatile.

A few of us got lucky this St. Patrick's day with some creamy March snow and moderate temperatures. Basically we searched for that pot'o'gold at the end of the rainbow, and found some pockets of powder instead. Read more for photos.

Nadia Samer, Kasie Stroshin and Jen Ashton made the brave decision to take me snowmobiling and skiing up the Rutherford. We had fun inhaling the wonderful 2-stroke fumes and got a little powder skiing in while we were up there. Read more for the shenanigans!
