2.19.25 The Daily Glide
So we went to grab a jacket this morning...
Everyone’s got that one closet in their house, right?
It’s the place where you throw everything just before company comes, bc Ullr god forbid you’d let people know what a slob you are! Well, this morning we reached into said closet, way in the back, to pull out our vintage one-piece ski suit and found ourselves suddenly thrust into a cold, snow, forbidding forest! After a few minutes we thought it maybe could be a cool place to explore, until that weird goat dude ran across the path - we’re outta here!
What are we wearing under our one-piece ski suit?
The Daily Glide shirt, of course! And you can have one too. Only 13 days left to get in on this order and support the wicked rad ski and snowshoe opportunities at RFP. Just move your finger a little to the left, now down, perfect. Click the button.

Trail Conditions & Groomers Take:
“This will be a good day to ski without deploying an anchor. All the trails are open, and the snow has a nice powdery/granular composition. The tracking may be a little suspect because of an issue with the track setter. We should rectify this next time we groom. Perfection is always a goal that seems elusive.” BVN
Warming Hut
