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!

Sherpa Adventure Gear Gives Back
The Sherpas are the unsung heroes of Everest…
From the early days of Sir Edmund Hillary's first successful summit, to modern mountaineers' attempts on treacherous Himalayan peaks, these incredible high-altitude climbers have been there in every step of the way—guiding, hauling food and gear, setting ropes, and rescuing sick and injured climbers.
Unfortunately even though climbers pay thousands of dollars for permits and guides, Sherpas still often live in impoverished conditions. And it is their children who suffer most when a Sherpa guide is injured or killed in a climbing accident
In order to honor their heroic feats, Sherpa Adventure Gear has partnered with Alpine Ascents to donate up to $.50 for every item sold to The Sherpa Education Fund. We are also in the process of setting up additional non-profit partnerships to benefit the health, education, and welfare of underprivileged Sherpa children.
In addition to this, Sherpa Adventure Gear employs local Sherpas in their office in Katmandu, and contract with Sherpa artisans (some of whom are their own cousins) to create the beautiful, hand knit Sherpa wool hats. Every product you buy makes a direct impact on the lives of these amazing people.
