nth face infusion jacket
Pockets in the wrong place, very hard to open. Good amout of room to move, non restrictive, more suited to mountaineering I think than to snow sports. Go for the ama dablam instead. Grt material put together very well.
The Ultimate Jacket
This jacket is really great. It's very breathable and completely weatherproof plus it isn't bulky and it doesn't have a lot of unnecessary features. The Alkali Blue looks really great. If you have the money to buy this jacket, do it. I can't wait to take it out skiing this year. Awesome.

Training Tips
You can increase your maximum oxygen consumption by approximately 15% when you work out three times a week for at least 30 minutes at 70% of your maximum heart rate.
Low weight, high rep circuit training combines the best of both worlds: aerobic and anaerobic training. Keeping the rest time in between high repeats low excercises like bench press, leg presses, inclined sit-ups, and upright rows is the key to maximum benefits.
As a long distance runner, a gradual increase in distance each week will allow you to build a solid areobic base. Distance increase should be no more than 10% of the previous week's distance.
When buying a new pair of running shoes, bring your old ones with you. You will get a better fit if you know if you supinate or pronate.
