Are you tired of having cold hands during the winter months? Do you struggle to keep your hands warm while engaging in outdoor activities such as skiing, snowboarding, or hiking? If so, heated gloves may be the solution you've been looking for. Heated gloves are a practical and effective way to keep your hands warm and comfortable in cold weather conditions. These gloves are equipped with heating elements that provide consistent warmth to your hands, helping to prevent numbness, stiffness, and discomfort caused by the cold. One of the main benefits of using heated gloves is their ability to improve circulation in your hands. The heat generated by the gloves helps to dilate blood vessels, allowing for better blood flow and circulation. This can be especially beneficial for individuals with poor circulation or conditions such as Raynaud's disease. In addition to improving circulation, heated gloves can also help to alleviate pain and stiffness in the hands and fingers. The warmth provided by the gloves can help to relax muscles and joints, reducing the risk of cramping and stiffness that often occurs in cold weather. Furthermore, heated gloves are a convenient and versatile option for staying warm in cold weather. Whether you're skiing down the slopes, shoveling snow, or simply taking a walk in the winter chill, heated gloves can provide the warmth and comfort you need to enjoy your outdoor activities to the fullest. So, if you're tired of having cold hands during the winter months, consider investing in a pair of heated gloves. Not only will they keep your hands warm and comfortable, but they can also improve circulation, alleviate pain and stiffness, and enhance your overall outdoor experience. Stay warm and cozy this winter with heated gloves! #outdoorliving #adventuretravel #heatedgloves

Most people who downhill ski will stick to the designated trails. The ski resort will mark each trail with a color to indicate its ease. Green is the easiest, followed by blue, and then black. Green hills are gentle slopes. These are the easiest for beginners or tired skiers. Blue hills are steeper than green hills. Gravity does not need to do much to pull you down these hills. Black hills are the steepest and take skill to successfully navigate. Then there are skiers who ski the backcountry, where no trail exists. These trails often require a rigorous hike up the hill or a helicopter ride to drop you off. There are no chair lifts to these hills. What often motivates backcountry skiers is the thrill of doing it. Many skiers don't do it, so there is pride having the skill to do it. And here's where I switch gears to talk about managing a change in the organization. There are difficulties to change that can look alike the designation used in downhill ski runs. A green change should be the easiest for a team to reach. Perhaps it is because the change is small or has been successfully navigated in the past. A blue change is a typical change for the team or organization. Unlike the green, it hasn't been done before. Yet, it is blue, because it looks similar to other change that has been attempted, whether it was successfully implemented or not. Black change is going to be really hard. It may be implementing a ERP system that spans multiple departments, at different times of the project, and will transform the organization when it is complete. There is a high probability that the organization may stumble and fall getting to the finish line of these types of change initiatives. Then there is backcountry change. Think of these changes as senior leaders pointing the organization in a completely new direction. These are bold changes. The organization will operate completely different if they can take on this type of change. If Kodak had adopted the very digital camera that they developed, that would have been like backcountry skiing. If Blockbuster had taken Netflix's offer to buy them, that would have been like backcountry skiing. These are radical changes, often with no trail to follow, which is probably why they are not frequently attempted. If you are a leader responsible for a change initiative, do you know whether your change is green, blue, black or backcountry? DM me for a chat to know for sure.

Which ski should I get for this upcoming season? Fraction Prodigy 1x 88 Line Honey Bee 95 Atomic Bent Chetlet 85 Volk Revolt 95 🎿 About Me:, 5'2", with 2 months of skiing experience but have hit the slopes around 15 times. I can tackle black diamond slopes and have been advised to use skis around 150cm. However, I've been considering longer skis for better control in powdery condition and park run stability. 🌁 What I'm Looking For: I'd love two pairs - one for the terrain park (157cm) and another for big mountain skiing(150cm). Budget constraints limit me to one. 1. Faction Prodigy 1X: Love the design, probably obsessed with the gradients bottom looks. but it's slightly longer (158cm) than recommended. I found longer ski than 155 made it super hard to go down moguls. Faction is popular for its Durability. My favorite gold medal Eleine Gu is the ambassador. So durability is a major plus, but the "partial twins" tails is a slight concern, because I heard only expert skier can land switch with partial twins. However, cheapest Prodigy is only come in 88 width. With 95 and more costs more… 3. Line Honey Bee 🐝: Great design and softness, everything is perfect for the park run. It's 155cm with a waist width of 92mm, which I love. Concern? Line Ski has a big reputation for bad quality. However, I saw Park Skiers rock LINE skis a bunch. Maybe just we don’t do anything too full send? And the skiis is still in good condition? 3. ATOMIC BENT: All the rave reviews, but seems popular among taller skiers. Adore the tip design, not the plain black base. It's 85mm wide, wish it were wider tho. And the ski length for this price is only 150cm. Which is to my chin. But I am not a big fan of the bottom design, though, it’s plain black which is not in my favor. 4. Volk: It's the most expensive one among these 4, but the front design is 🔥. The length (157cm) and width (95) are ideal. Yet, I'm unsure due to limited reviews.

For those of you who are skiers and snowboarders, this is the most exciting time of year, as you look longingly towards the skies and check the snow reports regularly. But when it’s time to hit the slopes, you also may want to avoid the bigger resorts and long lift lines. So, I thought you might enjoy this article.

Don't you love it when something just.... *clicks*? Meet Yardsale, a ski equipment company with effortless products to make the most of your day on the mountain. We've redesigned ski poles from the ground up (with magnets inside!) to bring excitement back to a piece of gear that is widely used, but often forgotten. Such a fun project, and excited it's finally out in the world! The design challenge -- When's the last time you heard someone rave about their ski poles? Probably never. Cristina and I spent months refining a design that is both beautifully simple and magically functional. Integrated magnets. Modular design to mix and match colors. A center shaft that can be replaced if you break or bend it. Quick release baskets for different conditions. But most importantly we wrapped these poles in a brand that we feel speaks to the true emotions of skiing for the majority of skiers out there. Of course we all dream of epic powder runs, but skiing is about much more than that. It's the moments in-between, on the chair lift, at the lodge, or in the hot tub, that truly makes skiing winter's greatest group sport. Can't wait for you to see our P1 Poles out in the lift lines this winter. In the meantime, grab a pair for yourself or others (they make a great gift!) Build your pair www.yardsale.ski
