Sherpa Adventure Gear Pema Wool Winter Hat

Sherpa Adventure Gear Nima Wool Winter Hat

This classic-style Sherpa winter hat has polar fleece lining for keeping you warm on the ski hill, or walking the dog in town. Enjoy warmth in style wearing this fleece-lined traditional wool hat in bold colors. The Sherpa Nima lambswool winter hat is hand-knit in Nepal, providing superior warmth and comfort.

Sherpa Adventure Gear Kungha Wool Winter Hat

The Sherpa Khunga combines the warmth of wool with stripes and contemporary style. The Khunga hat, like all Sherpa hats, has polar fleece liner for itch-free warmth. All sherpa hats are hand-crafted in Nepal, made of the finest lambs wool. Each Khunga Hat has been individually carded and knit in the valley of Kathmandu, Nepal.

One of Powderfin's PowderKin boldly entered the Steamboat Oktober West Cow Pie Eating Contest, proudly sporting his Powderfin logo tee for the action. I don't know what the Vegas odds were on this event, but as a longtime pal of the contestant known often as "the Grizzler", I would say they were pretty strong in favor of ol' Griz powering through a pie before anyone else willing to line up at the feeding table.

Don't Be Denied

There's nothing quite like seeing a master excel at their craft. On this day, there would be no denying our champion his due. Congratulations Griz, and thanks for representing Powderfin in this historic event. Haha...

Today brought in about 13 inches of the white stuff, and it's still coming down here in Bozeman! With the onset of winter, we're featuring some great outdoor adventure clothing like the Sherpa Halka Rain Jacket, and the amazingly technical Ground ski clothing. Here are a few shots of the ski jackets we have currently available on Powderfin.com.

If you're looking for a comfortable and innovative ski pack to get your backcountry skiing season off right, look to the Deuter Freerider 30 Ski Pack. It fits well, has plenty of room for gear, and can be used with skis or a snowboard. Strap it on and go find your stash!

If the snow continues to fall like this, we'll be seeing the opening of Bridger Bowl and Big Sky before long... Bridger is reporting a 28" settled base and 10" of fresh so far for this storm.

Get geared up for a great season on the hill with backcountry ski gear from your friends at Powderfin.com!

We got a few early October wintry days here in Montana, and the groans could be heard all over the Gallatin Valley. It's not that we don't expect winter to come early, or even that we don't like winter....but a few days of sub 20 degree weather surely had us thinking... really???!!!! Because our winters last until June most of the time. After a reprieve in the weather and some gorgeous 50-65 degree days, we've shaken the initial shock of winter's arrival and we're ready for the real deal.

And it's here! It snowed about 6 inches last night in Bozeman, and it's time to settle into the snow darkness and start thinking of powder days and empty lift lines.

And with that, we have some great new gear from our friends at Sherpa Adventure Gear and Ground that will help make winter activities more fun. Staying warm and dry is the key whether on the slopes at Big Sky, walking fields for pheasant, or snowshoeing up Bee Hive Basin.

The innovative designers at Ground have come up with some great new technical apparel, so if you're looking for a new shell or insulation layer, check out the new Ground outerwear and give us a call if you have questions.

Looking for a new base layer piece? Sherpa Adventure Gear base layers are great for everyday winter wear, but also technically efficient for backcountry adventure.

We're looking forward to a great season here at Powderfin, and we hope you'll get out there and enjoy it... we will!

If you live in Montana long enough, every once in a blue moon the planets align and you have one of those days that make all of the late spring depression and cabin fever worth the pain. A few weeks ago my buddy Erik and I were blessed with one of those days. After a decent hike though an equally beautiful and aromatic meadow, we found ourselves amidst a scene of giant cutthroats and a gin clear stream.

On the way to the fish, each step would send a grasshopper in one direction, and the mixed smell of sage, grass, and mint in another. After awhile we joked that we could easily find a unicorn in this area if we were quiet enough.

The cutties were patient and peaceful, and on this day they were also ready to eat. There's really nothing like late summer in Montana.
