Mais j'en ai quand même eu un petit aperçu, dont voilà quelques extraits.</p><p>Je suis entré en Suisse par Bâle, cette ville à l'intersection des frontières entre la France, l'Allemagne, et la Suisse. Pas mal d'usines chimiques, mais quelques coins appréciables néanmoins! En particulier, les ponts sont toujours l'occasion d'avoir une belle vue du milieu urbain. J'aime bien voir comment, dans chaque ville, la rivière se trouve canalisée, en quelques sortes domptée.<span id="more-11776"></span></p><p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/wpid-IMG_5720.jpg" alt="Quelques jours en Suisse"  title="Quelques jours en Suisse" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Je me suis ensuite dirigé vers Genève, en faisant deux étapes. La première en camping sauvage, en lisière d'un bois au sud-ouest de Bienne. J'ai eu droit là bas à un bien joli ciel crépusculaire! Qui a dit qu'on ne pouvait pas faire de camping sauvage en Suisse? La polizei n'est pas venue me déranger.</p><p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/wpid-IMG_5775.jpg" alt="Quelques jours en Suisse"  title="Quelques jours en Suisse" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Pour ma seconde étape, j'ai été hébergé par un triathlète super-sympa rencontré sur la route.

Chaque jour est une bonne excuse pour discuter de notre choix de vêtements par rapport aux conditions extérieures. Vous comprendrez donc que pour moi, un voyage de ski à Salt Lake City est comme une soirée bar ouvert pour un alcoolique : une occasion trop tentante d'exacerber ma passion. Voici donc les modèles que j'apporterai avec moi pour affronter cet incroyable coin de pays.<span id="more-18119"></span></p><table width="590" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2"><img src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/maxime-equipement-ski-1.jpg " alt="Ski à Alta : Épluchage de mes vêtements" width="590" height="475" title="Ski à Alta : Épluchage de mes vêtements" /></td></tr><tr><td class="celluleImage" style="border-bottom: thin dashed #FF3700; padding: 8px 0;" valign="top" width="36"><img src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/1.png" alt="Ski à Alta : Épluchage de mes vêtements" width="40" height="32" title="Ski à Alta : Épluchage de mes vêtements" /></td><td class="celluleTexte" style="border-bottom: thin dashed #FF3700; padding: 10px 0;" valign="top" width="554"><h3>Arc'teryx Phase AR Crew Ls pour <a style="color: #3a3a3a;" href="http://www.altitude-sports.com/fre/products/vetements-homme/sous-vetements/phase-ar-crew-ls-homme?8159">homme</a> et <a style="color: #3a3a3a;" href="http://www.altitude-sports.com/fre/products/vetements-femme/sous-vetements/phase-ar-crew-ls-femme?8160">femme</a></h3><p>Parfaite couche de base pour gérer l'humidité efficacement quand j'alterne les ascensions de sommets et les longues descentes.

J'aime sa coupe ajustée à tous les niveaux. Utile quand on le porte directement sur la peau. J'aime moins le fait que la fibre synthétique prenne les odeurs après une journée complète d'utilisation vs le mérinos, qui gère mieux cet aspect.

Ils sont beaucoup plus chers que d'autres gants de leur catégorie, mais ce sont les meilleurs pour le skieur dans nos hivers québécois à mon avis.

The Arc’teryx Ventii is an exclusive ski jacket. Not only is its fit, mobility and weather protection best in class, but very few will be made. Join us for the review.<span id="more-18045"></span><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/arcteryx-mens-ventii-jacket-reviewed/line-break2-74/" rel="attachment wp-att-18047" title="arcteryx-jacket-ski-ventii"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18047" title="Arcteryx Mens Ventii Jacket Reviewed" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Line-Break2.jpg" alt="Arcteryx Mens Ventii Jacket Reviewed" width="592" height="2" /></a></p><h2><a href="http://www.altitude-sports.com/eng/products/mens-clothing/jackets/insulated-jackets/mens-ventii-jacket?9403">Arcteryx Men's Ventii Jacket</a></h2><p>You might be wondering why very few will be made. The answer is simple. Arc’teryx has made the best ski jacket possible and it’s actually costing them too much. That’s right get your hands on this more than fantastic jacket that Arc’teryx can’t afford to make anymore.</p><p>The review of the Ventii will be separated into sections, fit, features, looks &amp; feel.</p><p><a href="http://www.altitude-sports.com/eng/products/mens-clothing/jackets/insulated-jackets/mens-ventii-jacket?9403" title="arcteryx-ski-jacket-ventii-roxo"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18051" title="Arcteryx Mens Ventii Jacket Reviewed" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/arcteryx-ski-jacket-ventii-roxo1.jpg" alt="Arcteryx Mens Ventii Jacket Reviewed" width="592" height="524" /></a></p><h2>Fit</h2><p>Fit wise, the Arc’teryx Ventii is like the proverbial glove. Not only is its cut spot on, but it is complimented by the fact that the Gore-Tex Pro-Shell has stretch. This had me raise an eyebrow as it is very rare for Pro-Shell to be stretchy. In fact, it is the only Arc’teryx jacket that has it; that is a bit of a shame because it made for fantastic mobility, as did the great articulation Arc’teryx is know for. It is quite rare for an insulated jacket to allow such nimbleness. Don’t go expecting something to do yoga with though, the stretch is just right for you to go all out when you’re skiing.</p><p>Beyond that, the cut has what Arc’teryx calls its Fit Trim. Aptly named, it is indeed close to the body. I quite liked that aspect. I would say it is true to size, however if you’re debating or planning on wearing thick mid-layers, do order I size larger than usual. With 80g of Coreloft, you won’t be needing to layer-up too often though.</p><p><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/arcteryx-mens-ventii-jacket-reviewed/arcteryx-ski-jacket-ventii-triple/" rel="attachment wp-att-18050" title="arcteryx-ski-jacket-ventii-triple"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18050" title="Arcteryx Mens Ventii Jacket Reviewed" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/arcteryx-ski-jacket-ventii-triple.jpg" alt="Arcteryx Mens Ventii Jacket Reviewed" width="592" height="252" /></a></p><h2>Features</h2><p>The Arc’teryx Ventii is rich in features. First of all, concerning versatility, you’ll be happy to note that the snow skirt is not only elastic but also removable. Great for those times you’re wearing the jacket but not actually skiing. Also removable is the insulated hood. I was happy to note that it is subtle in that ability, in that the zipper and buttons to do so are well hidden, keeping a smooth look. Of course, the hood also has the legendary Arc’teryx fit and adjustability. The collar fit just right, being neither too high nor too low. Continuing with the snowsport features, there is also the hidden Recco® reflector. The fact it is hidden is appreciated at it keeps the jacket’s look elegant.</p><p>Moving lower down the jacket, you’ll appreaciate the webbed pit-zips. The zips are there to help vent and avoid you overheating while the webbing is there to block any snow from coming in. All zippers are of the WaterTight polyurethane coated variety. The zipper tab on the main zipper has a nice sturdy feel to it.</p><p>In the realm of pockets, the Ventii excels too. On the outside, it has a pocket at the wrist and two hand pockets at the waist. Inside you’ll find one zippered pocket as well as a double mesh pocket, which are one on top of the other or rather that one is in front of the other, depending on your perspective. The larger of the two is attached at the center, while the slightly smaller is of a classic drop-in configuration. Weatherwise, as mentioned previously its Gore-Tex Pro Shell has a waterproof-breathable membrane which is also windproof and stretchable, while its 80g of Coreloft will keep you warm on the downhill and on your way up.</p><p>Finally, the Ventii has adjustable slim-fit cuffs with Velcro® closures. The slim fit indicates that at the wrist, the jacket become very thin. I really appreciated that feature as the lesser bulk made it easier to negotiate putting on my gloves properly.</p><p><a href="http://www.altitude-sports.com/eng/products/mens-clothing/jackets/insulated-jackets/mens-ventii-jacket?9403" title="arcteryx-ski-jacket-ventii-brimstone"><img src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/arcteryx-ski-jacket-ventii-brimstone.jpg" alt="Arcteryx Mens Ventii Jacket Reviewed" title="Arcteryx Mens Ventii Jacket Reviewed" width="592" height="510" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18065" /></a></p><h2>Look &amp; Feel</h2><p>Elegance and simplicity are this ski jacket’s calling card. Its slim fit makes sure that applies to you too. Its line across the upper arms and shoulders add a touch of dynamicity. The outside fabric is soft yet tough. Inside, you’ll find a variety of luxurious fabrics. The sleeves have a sleek texture allowing you to smoothly put in your arms without having your base layer sleeves ride up. At the shoulders there are two blades of soft fleece whereas the rest of the torso has a noble feel of a very soft, very fine fleece, for lack of a better word.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>The Arc’teryx Ventii is the ideal jacket for the most demanding of skiers. Is it worth over 1000$? That really depends on what 1000$ is worth to you. How much do you value having the best? Built with the choicest materials and a master’s attention to detail, the Arc'teryx will suit you so well you won’t notice it until someone pays you a compliment. Get one while you still can.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://altitude-blog.com/arcteryx-mens-ventii-jacket-reviewed/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Ski Sale!</title><link>http://altitude-blog.com/ski-sale/</link> <comments>http://altitude-blog.com/ski-sale/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 10 Jan 2012 22:17:45 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Juan Altitude</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Events]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Arcteryx]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Black Diamond]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Burton]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Burton Wheelie Cargo]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mammut]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Patagonia]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The North Face]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://altitude-blog.com/?p=17990</guid> <description><![CDATA[A sale is what happens when a seller gives a rebate on products.

I must admit that I've been to Bariloche and on one of the mountains I've had my best snowboard day. In fact, the powder was deep and fluffy that it was one of the best days of my life. Back to the movie. I liked, of course, the scenery. I thought some of the shots were quite nice. I liked the use of the stop-motion hyper-exposures at night and in the mountain hut. Actually, it might not be stop-motion, it just looks like that because of the quickness of the brighter lights. I was both annoyed by the music and thought it worked really well. It's just that I felt that I've already heard I'm-such-a-sensitive-man music like this before. But I did cracked for the "going to San Pedro". Finally, I also enjoyed the playful nudity. I like to think that people into the outdoors are a little more comfortable with their bodies and understand context is everything. I say more fun butts!</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://altitude-blog.com/argentina-a-skiers-journey/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>EXTENDED until January 8th 2012: Boxing Day at Altitude-sports.com&#8217;s Boutiques</title><link>http://altitude-blog.com/boxing-day-2011-at-altitude-sports-coms-boutiques/</link> <comments>http://altitude-blog.com/boxing-day-2011-at-altitude-sports-coms-boutiques/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 23 Dec 2011 21:04:28 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Juan Altitude</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Events]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Arcteryx]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Boxing Day]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Icebreaker]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mammut]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Merrell]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Moon Boot]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mountain Hardwear]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Quartz Nature]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Rabais]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The North Face]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ventes]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://altitude-blog.com/?p=17943</guid> <description><![CDATA[We are having a Boxing Day sales event at both our stores, on December 26th and 27th until January 8th! We hope you'll be able to take advantage of these special events to get some special deals and come see us.

This year they have perfected it. 200 grams of Primaloft make this a warm glove to be reckoned with. The lavish leather palm and finger tips create unsurpassed tactility as well as durability. However to add breathability and comfort to the glove they went with a nice softshell fabric for the back of the hand. Perfect length for skiing or any snowsport where keeping the snow out is a pre-requisite.

Too bad, it is the best stuff on earth. What could be better you ask? What if they add 3% Lycra to add that extra stretch you oh so pray for when in the crux of an ice climbing pitch you have to do a high-step. No problemo with their GT line because that Lycra helps you move even more freely. Zip neck lets you regulate your temperature more easily, and the thumb loops keep the sleeves where they should be.

It fits over the face perfectly, and does not gobble it up like some bigger models. But most important it comes with the beautiful VR50 Pink Iridium lens.

Put your ski boots in there, with accessories and throw it in the trunk- no more concerns. Throw it on your back with the handy shoulder straps or clip it to its buddy (http://www.altitude-sports.com/eng/products/gear-and-equipment/backpacks/travel-packs/base-camp-ski-roller?avcj).

Those cool electro suits and Bauer hockey helmets subtlety converted into futuristic headwear- what a world they battled in. Well my dreams were realized this season with the addition of the Shekter Jacket. With it’s crazy design and neon green trim anyone can pretend to be in the ultimate Frisbee/jai alai battle to the death. All the usual stuff The North Face brings to the table: fully waterproof, seam-sealed, beautiful softshell fabric. 80 grams of insulation in the core and 60 in the sleeves- definitely for the racer in you, so ski hard on those cold days.<a href="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Line-Break210.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-17879];player=img;" title="arcteryx-north-face-oakley-icebreaker"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-17889" title="Arcteryx, The North Face, Oakley & more: Marks High 5" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Line-Break210.jpg" alt="Arcteryx, The North Face, Oakley & more: Marks High 5" width="592" height="2" /></a></p><p>---</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://altitude-blog.com/arcteryx-north-face-oakley-icebreaker-high-5-december/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Canada Goose Citadel VS Arc&#8217;teryx Khuno</title><link>http://altitude-blog.com/canada-goose-citadel-vs-arcteryx-khuno-2/</link> <comments>http://altitude-blog.com/canada-goose-citadel-vs-arcteryx-khuno-2/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 05 Dec 2011 20:17:50 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Juan Altitude</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Product Reviews]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Arcteryx]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Arcteryx Khuno]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Canada Goose]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Canada Goose Citadel]]></category> <category><![CDATA[doudoune]]></category> <category><![CDATA[duvet]]></category> <category><![CDATA[manteau d'hiver]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://altitude-blog.com/?p=17798</guid> <description><![CDATA[Canada Goose Citadel et Arc'teryx Khuno: ces manteaux vous garderont bien au chaud cet hiver, cependant, ils ne vous aideront pas à choisir; ça, c'est notre boulot.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/canada-goose-citadel-vs-arcteryx-khuno-2/" title="canada-goose-citadel-arcteryx-khuno-parka"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-17599" title="Canada Goose Citadel VS Arcteryx Khuno" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/canada-goose-citadel-arcteryx-khuno-parka.jpg" alt="Canada Goose Citadel VS Arcteryx Khuno" width="250" height="216" /></a>Avec la Khuno d’Arc'teryx portant le nom du dieu aymara de la neige et la Citadel de Canada Goose nommée comme une construction fortifiée, vous comprenez tout de suite que vous serez bien couvert et protégé lorsque la tempête vous défiera.

Ceci explique surement sa coupe plus ajustée, il est en effet taillé assez serré. Si vous êtes à la recherche d'un tel ajustement, commandez dès maintenant votre taille habituelle et vous serez ravi du résultat. Si vous n'êtes pas sûr, je vous recommande de choisir une taille au dessus.</p><p>Le Khuno d’Arc'teryx, quant à lui, a une coupe plus régulière. Vous pouvez commander votre taille normale sans hésiter.</p><h2>Similitudes</h2><p>Chacune dotée d’un capuchon, vous ne pouvez pas vous tromper pour vous garder bien au chaud de part leur isolation, bien que la Khuno le soit légèrement plus. Comme ils sont réglables, cela fait une grande différence pour l’apparence de votre tête, et donne une sensation de chaleur pour votre corps. La Citadel de Canada Goose et la Khuno d’Arc'teryx sont également équipés d’une glissière frontale avec rabat coupe-vent qui protège le menton. Les deux parkas sont assez longues, assurant une couverture complète du siège, vous donnant ainsi une protection optimale du corps quasi-complète, tout en permettant une liberté pour marcher.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>En termes de fonctionnalités, ces deux parkas sont assez semblables et en tant que manteaux d'hiver, vous serviront admirablement bien. Peut-être que leur plus grand élément distinctif est leur apparence. Dans ce domaine, ils sont assez différents : La Citadel de Canada Goose a une forte carrure quasi-militaire tandis que la Khuno d’Arc'teryx a un look plus sportif.

You can wear them in the summer of course, but they’re made ready for snow time. They both have that smooth hardshell feel, although the Patagonia is a little rougher. Rougher in a good way. It feels a little burlier. It’s just a feeling since Arc’teryx jackets are second to none in durability. Both are made to keep you dry and their adjustable hoods, hems and cuffs, water-resistant zippers make sure the GORE-TEX® Pro Shell does just that.</p><h2>Fit</h2><p>The Rush is described by Arc’teryx as having an expedition fit. Trying it on contradicts that. It has a classic Arc’teryx Alpha fit. That means trim. If you plan on layering or are hesitating, you should get a size larger. The same fit suggestion applies to the Patagonia Super Alpine, which is climbing-short in the front.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>The Arc’teryx Rush is more ski-specific while the Patagonia Super Alpine is more climbing specific. Either way, you’re getting top notch jackets. The Arc’teryx gets extra marks for it’s ski skirt which also double as a wind skirt and which I prefer to the adjustable hem the Patagonia offers especially since the Arc’teryx has that too. Pocket wise, the Rush also excels since it has a sleeve pocket as well as two interior pockets. Both usable, unlike the Patagonia’s interior pocket which is oddly shaped and too small to fit a wallet. But with it’s pleated chest pocket, the Super Alpine’s no slouch in the pocket department either. It makes for a perfect pocket since it lies flat when empty yet becomes cavernous when comes time for storage.</p><p>I also liked its cuff gasket. It’ll make it easier to keep the wind out.They stay top-notch in the hood department with their 3D adjustments. I prefered the Patagonia, if only for their nifty Touch Point System™ which makes it so much easier to slacken the points.</p><p>In the end, they both make you go wow when you wear them. The Arc’teryx has the snow-skirt and is richer in pockets whereas as the Patagonia has the sweet cord locks, wrist gaskets and accordeon pockets. It comes down to which features you value more.</p><p>---</p><p><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/arcteryx-men%E2%80%99s-best-seller-winter-jackets-reviews-north-face/">Arc'teryx Men’s Winter Jackets Reviews</a></p><p><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/patagonia-review-winter-jackets-men/">Patagonia Men’s Winter Jackets Reviews</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://altitude-blog.com/arcteryx-patagonia-rush-super-alpine-ski-snow-jacket/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Canada Goose Citadel VS Arc&#8217;teryx Khuno</title><link>http://altitude-blog.com/canada-goose-citadel-vs-arcteryx-khuno/</link> <comments>http://altitude-blog.com/canada-goose-citadel-vs-arcteryx-khuno/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 16 Nov 2011 20:00:03 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Juan Altitude</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Product Reviews]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Arcteryx]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Arcteryx Khuno]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Canada Goose]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Canada Goose Citadel]]></category> <category><![CDATA[down]]></category> <category><![CDATA[jacket]]></category> <category><![CDATA[parka]]></category> <category><![CDATA[winter]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://altitude-blog.com/?p=17585</guid> <description><![CDATA[Canada Goose Citadel and Arc'teryx Khuno: These fantastic parkas will keep you warm throughout winter.

If you are unsure, I would recommend you order a size up.</p><p>The Arc’teryx Khuno is has a more regular fit. You should order your regular size.</p><h2>Similarities</h2><p>Hood-wise, you can’t go wrong with either of them as they areinsulated, although the Khuno’s is more so. They are also adjustable, which makes a big difference in keeping your head, and thus your body warm. The Canada Goose Citadel and Arc’teryx Khuno are also equipped with wind flaps at the full-length zippers (which have chin guards). Both parkas are quite long, assuring full seat coverage, thereby giving you an optimal near-full body protection while allowing decent mobility.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>In terms of features, they are actually quite similar and as far as winter jackets, both will serve you equally well. Perhaps their greatest distinguishing element is their look. In that domain, they are rather different. The Canada Goose Citadel has a burly, quasi-military look while the Arc’teryx Khuno, has a lighter, more sporty look. While it is indeed quite a lot lighter, it is still very strong and resistant, so over all, a better choice for active people. Both brands are well respected and prestigious so you really can't go wrong. At this point, you can feel safe in merely deciding which look you prefer. Ironically, while the Citadel's appearance is more aggressive, because it is a style seen much more often on the streets, the Khuno's softer appearance might get you more noticed.</p><p>Please let us know if you have any questions or comments or suggestions of over comparisons.</p><p>---</p><p><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/canada-goose-winter-parka-reviews-comparisons/">Canada Goose Men’s Winter Parka Reviews</a></p><p><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/arcteryx-men%E2%80%99s-best-seller-winter-jackets-reviews-north-face/">Arc’teryx Men’s Winter Jackets Reviews</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://altitude-blog.com/canada-goose-citadel-vs-arcteryx-khuno/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>9</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Top 5 New Ski/Snowboard Gear for 2011/2012</title><link>http://altitude-blog.com/arcteryx-black-diamond-burton-oakley-icebreaker/</link> <comments>http://altitude-blog.com/arcteryx-black-diamond-burton-oakley-icebreaker/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 08 Nov 2011 17:16:27 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Max Altitude</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Product Reviews]]></category> <category><![CDATA[What’s New?]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Arc'teryx Rush]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Arcteryx]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Black Diamond]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Black Diamond Cayenne]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Burton]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Burton Gondy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Burton Venda]]></category> <category><![CDATA[gear]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Icebreaker]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Icebreaker Real Fleece]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Oakley Airbrake]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ski]]></category> <category><![CDATA[snowboard]]></category> <category><![CDATA[snowsport]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://altitude-blog.com/?p=17420</guid> <description><![CDATA[Naked trees, cold nights, news items on snow tires and an avalanche of squash-based dishes.

Mais les aventures héli-ski de CMH, eh bien, <em>paradis blanc</em> ne serait pas trop exagéré comme description en deux mots.</p><p>En plus de ça, tout le monde a été comblé de la <a href="http://bit.ly/lallouz-cafe">délicieuse nourriture fournie par Lallouz</a>.</p><p>Nous vous invitons à jeter un coup d'oeil aux photos que Maxime a prises.</p><p><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/arcteryx-montreal-2.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-17312];player=img;" title="arcteryx-montreal"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-17314" title="Évènement Arcteryx & CMH : Succès!" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/arcteryx-montreal-2-592x394.jpg" alt="Évènement Arcteryx & CMH : Succès!" width="592" height="394" /></a></p><p><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/arcteryx-montreal-3.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-17312];player=img;" title="arcteryx-montreal"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-17315" title="Évènement Arcteryx & CMH : Succès!" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/arcteryx-montreal-3-592x394.jpg" alt="Évènement Arcteryx & CMH : Succès!" width="592" height="394" /></a></p><p><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/arcteryx-montreal-4.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-17312];player=img;" title="arcteryx-montreal"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-17316" title="Évènement Arcteryx & CMH : Succès!" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/arcteryx-montreal-4-592x394.jpg" alt="Évènement Arcteryx & CMH : Succès!" width="592" height="394" /></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/arcteryx-montreal-5.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-17312];player=img;" title="arcteryx-montreal"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-17318" title="Évènement Arcteryx & CMH : Succès!" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/arcteryx-montreal-5-592x888.jpg" alt="Évènement Arcteryx & CMH : Succès!" width="592" height="888" /></a></p><p><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/arcteryx-montreal-6.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-17312];player=img;" title="arcteryx-montreal"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-17319" title="Évènement Arcteryx & CMH : Succès!" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/arcteryx-montreal-6-592x394.jpg" alt="Évènement Arcteryx & CMH : Succès!" width="592" height="394" /></a></p><p><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/arcteryx-montreal-7.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-17312];player=img;" title="arcteryx-montreal"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-17320" title="Évènement Arcteryx & CMH : Succès!" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/arcteryx-montreal-7-592x394.jpg" alt="Évènement Arcteryx & CMH : Succès!" width="592" height="394" /></a></p><p><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/arcteryx-montreal.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-17312];player=img;" title="arcteryx-montreal"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-17323" title="Évènement Arcteryx & CMH : Succès!" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/arcteryx-montreal-592x888.jpg" alt="Évènement Arcteryx & CMH : Succès!" width="592" height="888" /></a></p><p><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/arcteryx-montreal-8.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-17312];player=img;" title="arcteryx-montreal"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-17321" title="Évènement Arcteryx & CMH : Succès!" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/arcteryx-montreal-8-592x394.jpg" alt="Évènement Arcteryx & CMH : Succès!" width="592" height="394" /></a></p><p><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/arcteryx-montreal-9.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-17312];player=img;" title="arcteryx-montreal"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-17322" title="Évènement Arcteryx & CMH : Succès!" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/arcteryx-montreal-9-592x394.jpg" alt="Évènement Arcteryx & CMH : Succès!" width="592" height="394" /></a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://altitude-blog.com/arcteryx-ski-ligne-cmh/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Pre-Boxing Day Sale!</title><link>http://altitude-blog.com/pre-boxing-day-sale-outdoor/</link> <comments>http://altitude-blog.com/pre-boxing-day-sale-outdoor/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 22 Oct 2011 20:47:48 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Altitude blog / blogue</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Events]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Arcteryx]]></category> <category><![CDATA[discount]]></category> <category><![CDATA[rebate]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sale]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The North Face]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://altitude-blog.com/?p=17915</guid> <description><![CDATA[It's an Altitude-sports.com tradition, the Pre-Boxing Day sale.

From Arc'teryx to The North Face and more, we've got you covered. Here are two stars of the event, Arc'teryx Atom SV and The North Face Arctic Parka, followed by a more than impressive selection of other great choices.<span id="more-17915"></span><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/pre-boxing-day-sale-outdoor/line-break2-73/" rel="attachment wp-att-17921" title="pre-boxing-day-discount"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-17921" title="Pre Boxing Day Sale!" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Line-Break21.jpg" alt="Pre Boxing Day Sale!" width="592" height="2" /></a></p><h2><a href="http://www.altitude-sports.com/eng/products/mens-clothing/jackets/insulated-jackets/mens-atom-sv-hoody?8119">Arc'teryx Men's Atom SV Hoody</a></h2><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.altitude-sports.com/eng/products/mens-clothing/jackets/insulated-jackets/mens-atom-sv-hoody?8119" title="arcteryx-atom-sv"><img class="size-full wp-image-17917 aligncenter" title="Pre Boxing Day Sale!" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/arcteryx-atom-sv.jpg" alt="Pre Boxing Day Sale!" width="240" height="300" /></a></p><p>The Arc'teryx Atom SV is an impressive jacket to say the least. Thin enough to use as a super warm mid-layer when it's frigid out, it will also serve as a great standalone jacket for early or late in winter. Wind resistant and compactible, this jacket will follow you everywhere. <em>Regular: 274.99$ On Sale: 164.99$</em></p><h2><a href="http://www.altitude-sports.com/eng/products/womens-clothing/jackets/insulated-jackets/womens-arctic-parka?a11x">The North Face Women's Arctic Parka</a></h2><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.altitude-sports.com/eng/products/womens-clothing/jackets/insulated-jackets/womens-arctic-parka?a11x" title="north-face-arctic-parka"><img class="size-full wp-image-17918" title="Pre Boxing Day Sale!" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/north-face-arctic-parka.jpg" alt="Pre Boxing Day Sale!" width="240" height="300" /></a></p><p>The North Face Arctic Parka is a classic for a very good reason. It's a great jacket. I always like it when beautiful things are also quite functional. The Arctic Parka is just that. Waterproof and windproof and filled with oh-so-warm down, you'll be ready for any event and any weather. In fact, I like it so much I recommended to my sister and she's more than happy with it. <em>Regular: 399.99$ On sale: 299.99$</em></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.altitude-sports.com/eng/storeSection/redirect.cfm?sectionID=b2c/search/productSearchResults.cfm&amp;number_results=96&amp;flagid=preboxhom" title="pre-boxing-day-men-clothing-footwear (250 x 141)"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-17925" title="Pre Boxing Day Sale!" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/pre-boxing-day-men-clothing-footwear-250-x-141.jpg" alt="Pre Boxing Day Sale!" width="250" height="141" /></a><a href="http://www.altitude-sports.com/eng/storeSection/redirect.cfm?sectionID=b2c/search/productSearchResults.cfm&amp;number_results=96&amp;flagid=preboxfem" title="pre-boxing-day-women-clothing-footwear (250 x 141)"><img class="size-full wp-image-17926 alignright" title="Pre Boxing Day Sale!" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/pre-boxing-day-women-clothing-footwear-250-x-141.jpg" alt="Pre Boxing Day Sale!" width="250" height="141" /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.altitude-sports.com/eng/storeSection/redirect.cfm?sectionID=b2c/search/productSearchResults.cfm&amp;number_results=96&amp;flagid=preboxenf" title="pre-boxing-day-youth-clothing (250 x 141)"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-17927" title="Pre Boxing Day Sale!" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/pre-boxing-day-youth-clothing-250-x-141.jpg" alt="Pre Boxing Day Sale!" width="250" height="141" /></a><a href="http://www.altitude-sports.com/eng/storeSection/redirect.cfm?sectionID=b2c/search/productSearchResults.cfm&amp;number_results=96&amp;flagid=preboxequ" title="pre-boxing-day-equipment (250 x 141)"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-17928" title="Pre Boxing Day Sale!" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/pre-boxing-day-equipment-250-x-141.jpg" alt="Pre Boxing Day Sale!" width="250" height="141" /></a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://altitude-blog.com/pre-boxing-day-sale-outdoor/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
