Loudmouth Golf Pants Strike Teton Village
February 10th, 2010
The Pants of Loudmouth Golf seem to have found there way to Teton Village. This group of guys wanted to tell us of their adventures while wearing their recently purchased Loudmouth Golf Pants. So here it goes:
They arrived in Teton Village this first weekend in February. Due to all the great things they heard, they immediately paid a visit to the Teton Village Sports retail store next to the Mangy Moose at the base of JHMR. As soon as they stepped foot inside the boys went buck wild, trying to get their hands on all the great products that filled the store. Then, there they were… the pants of Loudmouth Golf! They boys rush over to the rack and each grabbed their favorite pair! The pants fit each man perfectly. Surprising and wonderful, because no one style of pant ever fits every mans body type.
So they were off to explore the resort….
They checked out the views from the top of the tram, skied down Corbet’s Couloir, over to Sublette and even had a chance to see some dope tricks at the terrain park.
After a great day at Jackson Hole they came back and thanked the lovely staff at Teton Village Sports for “Making their vacation happen”.
The Life of A Ski Photog
February 8th, 2010
TVS Correspondent/Photographer/Slum Lord Chris Bezamat checked in from points unknown. Chris and the TGR gang are heading to Europe for a few weeks of skiing. I didn’t hear where they were skiing, but they are going through the European skiing Mecca of Amsterdam so I’m sure the footie will be epic as usual. If ever you were wondering what life on the road is like for a film crew or the pros it seems to look a lot like the picture above. Glorious food, delicious beer and then a lot of scrambling around to find the best snow. I am not qualified to comment on any of these trips since I have never been on one, but this is what I gather through years of stories. It isn’t just powder turns and apres skiing sessions for these guys. They work hard. If you want pictures of people actually skiing powder check out Chris’s website. I will try to get some more stories from the road for you.
Snooze takes the cake
February 3rd, 2010
In a world filled with marginal pancakes Snooze of Denver CO takes the ….. pancake. I happened to visit Denver last week for the annual SIA trade show. Snooze was recommended to me as THE breakfast joint in downtown Denver. As a breakfast joint connoisseur I had to see for myself. The fun and casual atmosphere is filled with beautiful people anxious for a taste of something delicious. The waitress (Megan) recommended the salmon Benedict which was a no brainer (thanks Mr. Arnold. You were a turncoat, but you will always be remembered for your contribution to breakfast). As we sipped on delicious coffee Megan came back with an intriguing pancake. She said she just wanted us to have a taste of the Pineapple Upside Down Pancake. We were grateful and tucked right into our appetizer. It was the best pancake I have ever tasted. Cinnamon butter and a delicious glaze paired perfectly with the sweet pineapples. We were in heaven. Then the Benedict arrived and I knew I was going to have to revise my top two breakfast joint list. After days of deliberation and another trip to Snooze I have decided to drop Lucille’s of Boulder from the number two spot for Snooze. I wanted to give the top spot to both Snooze and The Kitchen of La Jolla CA, but I don’t believe in co-winners. This isn’t youth soccer this is breakfast we are talking about here.
