Skiing Utah, 2014

Thanks to some sweet airfares to Salt Lake City and generous babysitting from grandparents, we headed to Utah for some fantastic skiing, beautiful scenery and fun with friends.

Things I Like: Mountain Hardwear Kelvinator Down Jacket

I have avoided down gear most of my lift based on a suspected childhood allergy.  Realizing that most of my childhood allergies have disappeared (except Mountain Cedar!!), I decided to give down a chance.

My first piece of the down gear:  the Mountain Hardwear Kelvinator Jacket.  I love it!  It fits me perfectly, and the Cherry Bomb color is awesome ("Great Balls of Fire" by Jerry Lee Lewis pops in to my head every time I put it on).

Disclaimer:  I'm not a very good judge of down gear, obviously, since this is my first piece.  But I won't every be without a down jacket again.
