Times are tuff. Moneys’ tighter than your pants. Here’s a few ideas to offset the cost of that expensive season pass you just choked on.
Socks. Feel the need to buy those thick, fuzzy, fitted socks? Those thing run $25 a pair and you’re gonna need a few of em. F that, get some cheap dress socks from N.Rack. They’re fitted, cheap, and get the job done. Reminder: You ride in the Northwest, not Colorado. It aint cold here so you don’t need thick fuzzy socks.
Beanies. You down with paying $20 for a snow magnet beanie? Nah man. Stick with the gas station beanies for 2 bucks. Next time you fill ‘er up and get some shitty coffee, check out the beanie selection. Buy 2 or 3 for back up.
Gloves. If you aren’t down with pricey shred gloves, check your local thrift store. I’m pretty sure that snow gloves haven’t become trendy so there’ll probably be a selection. Plan B: gloves at the same place you got your shitty coffee.
Rain gear. If you’re hardcore and hyped enough to ride in the rain then you’re probably under 25 years old. If do you get caught in the rain and don’t have one of these then head to the lodge and find the closest janitor (look for a grubby kid with piercings). Ask him nicely for a garbage bag. Open up the bag, poke 3 holes, one for your dome, two for your arms. Price = free. Solid.
Gogs. Sorry bro. Here you’re gonna have to drop a few bills. Last thing you need is some scratched up mangled goggles making it harder to see up here in the Northwest. Those of us with real jobs ride at night. Don’t be afraid to run a couple pairs of gogs for various light conditions.
Yeah Drex…but I DO ride in Colorado. WTF do I do for sox???
not too stoked on the drexlegpic.
put up NWS or something YECCHH
nordstrom rack???
arent you from the ‘westside’, i thought only us kirkland snobs shopped at nordy’s
Ross, go to Ross if you want some tough dress socks for cheap. preferably the Aberdeen Ross, they take their shit seriously over there. Walmart is next door too, probably some bad ass deals on outerwear. We’re old, we don’t need to look cool anymore anyways. By the way, if you forget your jacket on your way to the pass, Chevron at the summit has a selection in the $20 range. good stuff for sure.
N.Rack is same shit at Ross. Discounted cheap stuff.
…and i don’t shop. I go buy stuff. There’s a dif.
ps I heard Criztal was opening this weekend.
Well, I don’t have the Rack or Ross here…and I’m in Colorado, so I’m still FUCKED when it comes to socks…DAMNIT!!!
you can take the boy out of the eastside but you cant take the eastside out of the boy. no matter what justin timberlake hat you wear or couriour bag you have you will be eastside for life. and you do shop just like you get your hair done by a stylest not a barbar. dont fuk with ross nobody has a better supply of South Pole Word.
Snow Seal makes everything new
dude! you guys gotta try the Pumpkin Spice lattes at Starbucks. tastes just like pie!
Ok….i take it back Drex. Your definitely westside , eggnog lattes are WAY better. Especially when you are browsing the courier handbag and fashion headwear sections at the nordstrom rack. by the way DB, shilo’s got flatscreens now. jealous?
holy shit!!
speaking of.. its full on eggnog latte season.. know what else goes good with eggnog? rum!! shit tonights gonna be one of those nights i’m thinking..
i wear stinky ol anything goes white socks in meh boots.. never get cold feet unless we’re having one of those strange NW 10 degree days. even then it aint so bad.. as for gloves.. i rokk some rad mis matched shit half the time..
i’m in the 35 and up club, you wont catch me riding in the rain, so i never have the rain gear problem.
ok i think i am done typing now..
have fun in the snow this weekend dudes.. i will be!
time to recalculate the surf/snow mission charts… Chevron 89 is down to $1.83, whooEEE
12 pack of Rainier and rock the jeans thats the most bang for the buck.
Dont forget to call in gay for work.
i was at TJ max the other day.. saw a 3 pack of dockers dress soxs.. medium thick and soft for 5$. thought about this post and bought em.. rocked em sunday in 8degree powpow and they kept my kicks nice and warm..
the cheesy cheap dress sock theory proven
nice work….i need to get a sled. Not even looking forward to the pass opening. snowbomber said you guys got some turns somewhere. by the way, my dog is way smarter than yours.. . bitch.
i agree. i saw dog lay cable on floor. gnar.
godamn it’s snowing….
haha, mee dogs went poopy on clems floor.. who’s to say tho i didn’t train him that way? i could be all KGBCIA training him to drop poops bombs man, and thats smart!!
and Clem, heck yes!! everyone should get sleds.. lift lines suck and are only getting worse with the ever growing popularity of being a radfical snowboard dude.. the lines will not get smaller only longer.. i bought a pass too, mostly for night sessions tho..
we are heading out tomorrow for sled madness and hoping to drop a couple short board lines too.. then wash rinse and repeat saturday.. party at the T wolf!!

sick shots oneshot. let me know when somebody has a free spot on a sled. I’ll buy beer and gas. I could at least serve as your tow bitch.
by the way, did the kgbcia train your pup to tinkle every time he sees my cat. He was leaving a pee trail around my whole house. i thought labs were tougher than that.
Word… shitty coffee and $2 hats are what get me through the season… why pay $4.50 for a double shot white mocha when u can get more caffine out of a 24oz coffee for $1.75 at Lees grocery at the summit? Same with Hats… If your payn 20-30 bucks for a hat… chances are in a year to or to that hat is going to either be lost or some shit that’s playd out. Go to Chevron and see Dale… he will sell you hats for $2. Buy 10 for $20 + tax and and have them shits for years just layn around… but there always there. And Dale is the man
