On the Snow: Burke, Vermont
Rapha on snow! More precisely, Rapha on Bruce Rychlik on top of Burke Mountain after a morning skin up. Was thrilled to see this coveted brand of cycling apparel and lifestyle put to use on snow. Combined with Arc’Teryx – it was a technical and stylish knockout.
PJ Dewey of Racestock Sports wears the Shred Half Brain D-Lux helmet in the very Vermont Slopeside edition. The maple sugaring graphics are by Shawn Rice (of Magic Hat graphic design fame), the artist who created the excellent packaging for the Cochran family’s Slopeside Syrup brand.
Kathy Herde is mad about plaid! Bonfire ensemble, head to toe, to ride her Burton snowboard one day after riding her Surly Pugsley fat bike at Winterbike.
It was the edelweiss that lured me in – but this classic Bogner one-piece suit reminded me of the German brand’s history in the Northeast Kingdom. In 1973, Willy and Sonya Bogner moved to Newport, Vermont to open a manufacturing facility for their family’s luxury ski apparel brand. I believe production was maintained for more than a couple decades. Sadly, but not surprisingly, Bogner no longer maintains production in the U.S. (Check out M. Miller of Boston for luxury ski apparel proudly made in the U.S.A.)
Camel’s Hump, Vermont’s third highest peak, seen through a hazy sunset from the top of the Mid-Burke Express.
Last weekend was a good one at Burke. . . I am ready for another! Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.

FIS Alpine Ski World Championships, Schladming 2013: Men’s Giant Slalom, Ligety 3x World Champion!

Marcel Hirscher of Austria, 2nd place. Ted Ligety of USA, 1st place. Manfred Moelgg of Italy, 3rd place.
I love how they announced the start of Ted’s runs with “It’s Ligety time”. Yes, it was. It is. Not since Jean-Claude Killy in 1968 – 45 years ago – has there been a triple world champion — incredible. Congratulations, Ted!

FIS Alpine Ski World Championships, Schladming 2013: Men’s Super Combined, Ligety Wins Again!
Ted Ligety, USA – 2013 Super Combined World Champion
x
Ivica Kostelic of Croatia, 2nd place. Ted Ligety of USA, 1st place. Romed Baumann of Austria, 3rd place.
Ligety wins! A slalom run of a lifetime, I’d say – coming from .72 back to win by 1.15 seconds. This makes Ted a double World Champ – winning gold in both events he has raced so far!

U.S. Women’s Alpine Ski Team Uniforms

Laurenne Ross adding style with a pretty neck gaiter and gloves.
It is all about the pink polka dot jackets! The vibrant color has moxie – it is both sweet and bold; the subtle pattern is enough but not too much; the silhouette is cozy and relaxed yet flattering, perfect over speed suits.
The U.S. uniforms appear to have a broad range of garments and looks within the annual kit, and are creatively reimagined year-to-year, not bound to traditional red/ white/ blue Americana. As a designer, I would be interested to learn about the inspiration and athlete input that determines the creative direction, as well as see how all the pieces merchandise into a cohesive uniform system.
