We've been looking at trading up from our ski home in MT to a diffrent one, but I don't think Phil can help with this!!

I really don't have gear wishes for 2010. For the first time (maybe in my ski life) I know that I have plenty of great skis and 2 pairs of boots that rock (the Raptor 150's still need a little more work and alignment to be done by Harald Harb).

One thing that I did need was a new Patagonia Primo Down Jacket. Wow do I love this jacket. I took a spill at the end of last season and when I got up my Primo Down Jacket had come apart on one of the seams in the arm. I sent it back to Patgucci and they said that they couldn't fix it. They gave me a gift cert with full price credit including Ca state sales tax and I now have a new one (royal blue now instead of red). I think I'm set!!

Not to hijack the thread but the Primo Down is a great jacket. Bomber H2no (goretex like material) on the outside and 600 fill down inside (although it feels and skis much lighter). I like this much better than lots of layers. On really cold days I wear this over 1 long sleeve undershirt and a Patagucci down sweater. If I sweat on a powder iday t is so easy to open things up and cool down. much harder with lots of layers. Great Jacket!!
