Get to know our General Manager, Zack, and maybe pick up a lifehack or two from this collegiate swimmer who left behind the Jersey Shore to make skiing in the Rockies his life. Read on for a few of Zack’s favorite things…
Zack’s Holiday Hack: Here’s what you do—set up an auxiliary sports-watching station in a basement or garage. That’s your holiday sanctuary, and the perfect secret getaway after your mother-in-law’s 3rd glass of Pinot.
Song of the Winter: Last Chair by Jaden Carlson Band, a Colorado-based jam-rock outfit. This will be the soundtrack for my Summit County powder turns all season long.
Most Recent Gear Purchase: Patagonia Men’s Descensionist Pants. They’re light, durable, and their freeride fit suits my freeride life.
Ski of the Year: Kastle MX99! This thing rips, and is super versatile—a perfect every day ski for Colorado.
Favorite Follow: @jimmy_chin on Instagram. The best adventure photographer in the business, and a great follow for daily inspiration.
Next Adventure: Cat skiing with my awesome co-workers in Steamboat. I’ve gone cat skiing in a few different areas, and it always delivers some of the best runs of my winter. Doing it in Steamboat this year with the Powder7 team is going to be epic.
Weirdest Adventure: Getting stuck in Vermont on Christmas Eve when I was 17. After losing my keys, dealing with an (understandably) cranky locksmith, and driving through a classic New England blizzard, we arrived back in New Jersey at the stroke of midnight Christmas morning.
Powder7 Swag: Vintage “Dad Hat” Trucker Hat. It’s my go-to head-topper, and a favorite around the shop.
Favorite Stash: The legendary Mushroom Patch (details and location excluded on purpose)…
