Introducing The MSR Denali Evo Ascent Snowshoe ? Bring On The Snow!

 Maybe now when we are already having soft deep fluffy snow blanketing our mountain trails, we should look into buying a new set of snowshoes. Let me tell you about the MSR Denali Evo Ascent, a fantastic lightweight yet rugged snowshoe that offers extraordinary performance on icy and steep surfaces! They have strong Unideck injection-molded decks, which are tapered for a more natural walking position. They can accommodate a large boot, which makes this shoe perfect for bringing in your pack on your snowboard/skiing trip as a safety item. With the EVO Flotation Tails (sold separately), you eliminate the need for several pairs for different uses, if you are using heavy packs for instance. Recommended load without tails is 90-125 lbs and with the 6 in tails the recommended load is 125 - 175 lbs. Its crampons on either side work very well and you will enjoy superior traction through steel traction blades with their saber teeth, crampons and moulded braking bars. The bindings are easy to use, hold up very well and they can be worked on with your gloves or mitts on. Its Televator heel lifter reduces calf fatigue and therefore makes climbing more easy and efficient. These MSR Denali Evo Ascent are one of the most used snowshoes among ?die hard? snowshoers in Alaska. They say once they?re on your feet, you don?t think you have anything more than your boots on! Come see.

Inspirato: Another travel flash sale site joins the mix

Filed under: , ,

inspiratoJust when you think you've seen them all ... another travel flash sale site launches. The latest? Inspirato, the pet project of Exclusive Resorts co-founder Brett Handler. They tackle the deal concept with a twist - travelers pay an up-front fee to join the site and then enjoy ongoing discounted rates for the site's portfolio of brand-owned, full-service properties. Ironically enough, it appears its closest competitor also comes from another Exclusive Resorts alumnus - we covered the launch of Next Great Place earlier this month.

Care for a flash sale? They created iDeal to offer a flash sale model that's more similar to sites like SniqueAway and Jetsetter, offering special packaged programs at an additional discount for specific date ranges.

What we love?

  • Deals are open to the public, so everyone can see what's being offered- but only members can book.
  • Many of the deals offered are actually on private home properties (more than 40 are currently in the portfolio) in desirable locations like Vail, Aspen, Anguilla and Italy.
  • Reservations can be booked up to a year in advance, and, because you still pay individually for room nights, there's no limit to where or how often one can travel.
  • A Personal Vacation Advisor learns each member's preferences and assists in vacation planning, residence selection and booking, while a Destination Concierge offers local expertise and dedicated assistance before arrival and during the member's vacation.

Christmas 2010

It rained this year



Grandma And NaraMost years we take a "Rock" picture out on the rock in my parents back yard. This year it rained the whole weekend so a rock picture would have been rather wet. Always willing to shake things up, this year we stayed inside and used my mothers living room.

Christmas

This year we had Christmas at my mothers house. Christmas doesn't make much sense to an eight month old so we tried to keep the shock and awe to a somewhat reasonable level. Of course she loved the packaging and paper way more than what they contained. (It takes Nara a while to warm to new toys).
