BUY LOCAL: Custom Gore-Tex Pants from Burgess Custom Outerwear

Photos: Matt Cardis

Buy Local is a new column that showcases Local Business and Entrepeneuers that are living the dream right here in the Tetons. This week we take a look at Burgess Custom Outerwear

The need for quality product here in the mountains is critical and snowpants are no exception. Once you go with a Gore-Tex snowpant, its pretty much good bye to all other fabrics! Like I always say, You could die out there!

Sure you can get Gore-Tex in brands like The North Face, Burton, Oakley, Arc'Teryx, Marmot, etc.

But, if individuality is your thing, and your sick of seeing your outfit in the liftline: Design your own pants and colorway right here in Burgess Customs fitting studio in Teton Valley, Idaho.

Specializing in creating your dream pant, fit, and style is the idea here!

"Fashion, Design and making something unique" is Sarah Deutschs' favorite part of the job.

In addition to the Custom Gore-Tex snowpants, the addiction to the mountain lifestyle has led her to a humble Lifestyle line as well with products built here in the US; including quality hoodies, hats, and tees!

Keeping overhead low and a loyal following of happy shredders is most important. To create something from a flat peice of fabric; to the Gear you put on when you ride is rewarding and amazing feeling.

"I ride with mostly snowboarders, but ski. My pants are for all types of Riders." -Burgess Custom Owner/Founder Sara Deutsch

Prices start at $250.00 for Fully Customized Gore-Tex snowpants and usually take about 6-8 weeks!

VIRAL: The Truth about Powder Skis

Living in the Teton Valley / Jackson area you hear allot about snowboarders and skiers riding together, sharing lines, etc. This is a classic conversation about how the new technology available specifically in Powder skis, makes it effortless to ride powder on the blasted two-planks. Those skiers are sharp. Enjoy!

Guess what movie this Original art is from?

FILM SPOTLIGHT: Bluebird's "Dobre Hombres"

Check the Trailer from Jackson local rider, filmaker, entrepeneur, and good ol'boy -Willie Mcmillon and his rag-tag crew of Jackson Skids gone good!

DOBRE HOMBRES TRAILER#3 from willie mcmillon on Vimeo.

Over the past 16 years, The Bluebird Icon has become a symbol of True snowboarding. They do exactly what they want to: Make a great line of products, Sponsor a team of sick riders, Create useful media promoting the youth into the core channels, all the while staying true to Snowboardings' humble upstarts! Soul points awarded for innovation and originality here folks! You can even find Bluebird Wax under your feet as Factory wax on Snowboards such as Lib-Tec and Rome.


"Dobre Hombres, (available on iTunes) breaks the traditional huck or die model of shred flicks, focusing instead on the heart of snowboarding through a documentary style narrative with -- dare I say it -- a message. If one thing unites the Bluebird crew it's that they enjoy snowboarding for all the right reasons"
- Nate Deschenes, ESPN.com


If your lucky enough to know Willie, you may catch him riding the tram at Jackson, or up in the Grand Teton National Park on his newly set-up SOLID splitboard, appreciating the local surroundings.

LIFESTYLE: The Misty Shack

Some days you just have to show up at like 2:30 pm and hit up the shacks and make sure they are all accessible! Get some fresh air on the hill!

Its nice to just look at Peaked Mountain and Teton Valley down the road.

ACTIVITIES: Great snow at Grand Targhee for opening week!

La Nina Winter Storms smash into the Tetons leaving some great early season powder!

I mean lets remember; it is November folks. It is really nice to get directly on some soft snow instead of the infamous; white strip of death and destruction.

NOTABLE: Mark Carter and Kevin Jones visit Grand Targhee

The report said -47 degrees up top last night!

We had to see how cold it really was...

Carter waves hello as Kevin Throws horns!

Really, this was at 9 am!

Dreamcatcher wasn't running yet, so I took a walk over to Shoshone Lift. It's a great spot to get your feet warm and learn the basics!

So gorgeous when you get to a spot like this!

The smiles are contagious.

Stay here and find out yourself, Rates are very competitive!

Getting the mountain open and ready when its negative 15 degrees out is no easy task.

Grand Targhee handles business and is a great spot to come get exposed to skiing and snowboarding in a very laid back atmosphere!

LIFESTYLE: No Friends on a Powder Day!

I mean you either get it or you don't.

There are no excuses, no- my car didn't make it, no- my girlfriend needs a ride.

Working is not in the powder day plan, just get up early and get to the hill!

By like 2 o'clock I could barely ollie. It was time to split!

Respect to Grand Targhee once again!

We were jacked, all if us let loose on the first run! Bungee, Kinger, Editor-Blake Campbell from TGR, RC "ras" Cone, all were lurking hard in the trees. It was feathering hard so we shot a few pics and decided the best move was to keep riding powder.Too Bad the light was non-existent for photos!

Lifts closed early due to massive snow and wind up top so we hit The Trap for a PBR! Over 95 inches of snow to date made for one of the best openings in the past decade for "The GHEE".
