A Dog in a Hat

This is a great book. If you ever needed inspiration to get on your bike when the temperatures are freezing, the wind is howling in your face, and the sky is about to open up... this is it. A Dog in a Hat is an American bike racer's story of mud, drugs, blood, betrayal, and beauty in Belgium.In 1987, Parkin left the comforts of home to become a bike racer in Belgium, the hardest place in the world to be a bike racer. As one of the first American pros in Europe, Parkin was what the Belgians call “a dog with a hat on” — something familiar, yet decidedly out of place. A fantastic read!

Just Soap

The Pedal-Powered Natural Soap

There are lots of handmade soaps out there but there is only one that is blended with a human powered bicylce. Just Soap's founder, Fredrick Breeden knew there had to be a better way to mix his all natural ingredients together rather than marathon sessions stirring them up using his arms. Fredrick combined his passion for cycling with his passion for making fine handcrafted soaps by creating his eco-friendly bicylce powered soap blender! Just Soap is all natural, cruelty free, biodegradable, mild and moisturizing, and minimally packaged. All good things for the earth and for you. Just Soap has become very popular in a very short time at Ski Haus. We stock a variety of soaps, shampoo, and hand salves. We stock Lavendar/Rosemary, Cinnamon/Clove, Oatmeal/Honey,
Sage Fir, Lemongrass/Ginger and more! Come check them out at the 'Haus!

Cytomax Performance Drink
Don't think that just because the seasons are starting to change you can back off from riding your bike or bagging a 14er or getting rowdy at the local crags. Get out and play and stay strong. Cytomax is key to maintaining endurance in a tasty fashion. CytoSport’s endurance and recovery drinks provide just the right combination of carbs and other nutrients, allowing you to make it through even the most challenging workout, race or event, and still recover quickly to wake up and do it all over again.

Why should I take care of my skis?
Skiing or riding on perfectly tuned skis or snowboards is a pleasure. Your skis feel and turn smoother. They initiate turns easier and come out of turns with the ease of a hot knife carving through butter... That is the good news. The bad news is how easily it is to let your winter tools fall out of tune. Base gouges, dry bases, burred edges... Yikes!
