On the weekend...
Portal's line-up has been "dynamic" to say the least, but a love of all things off-the-beaten-track has always been a relatively universal philosphy. Here are some things that make us smile.
Mountain Equipment Co-op
MEC, as the name implies, is a non-profit cooperative dedicated to providing top quality outdoor gear at great prices for for those of us who want to continue enjoying the wilderness while it's still there to enjoy. Yeah, we're talking to you, Cheney. Leave Alaska alone... vultures.
Rocky Mountain Bicycles
Bill and Kenton are avid weekend warriors. Bill has a killer Cannondale, but he can suck it. Rocky Mountain is where it's at. They're one of the most innovative manufacturers around, and definitely worth a test ride if you're in the market for a new bike. (Kenton rides a Vertx 30, if you were wondering).
Sunshine Village
I guess this would have to be our "home" mountain. No better place to unwind than the top of Goat's Eye, but we haven't gotten up there nearly enough in the last couple of years.
