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…
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Zack’s Holiday Hack<\/strong>:\u00a0 Here’s what you do\u2014set 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.<\/p>\n

Song of the Winter:<\/strong>\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

Most Recent Gear Purchase:\u00a0 <\/strong>Patagonia Men’s Descensionist Pants<\/a>. They’re light, durable, and their freeride fit suits my freeride life.<\/p>\n

Ski of the Year:<\/strong>\u00a0 Kastle MX99<\/a>! This thing rips, and is super versatile\u2014a perfect every day ski for Colorado.<\/p>\n

Favorite Follow:\u00a0 <\/strong>@jimmy_chin<\/a> on Instagram. The best adventure photographer in the business, and a great follow for daily inspiration.<\/p>\n

Next Adventure:\u00a0 <\/strong>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.<\/p>\n

Weirdest Adventure:\u00a0 <\/strong>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.<\/p>\n

Powder7 Swag:\u00a0 <\/strong>Vintage “Dad Hat” Trucker Hat<\/a>. It’s my go-to head-topper, and a favorite around the shop.<\/p>\n

Favorite Stash:\u00a0 <\/strong>The legendary Mushroom Patch (details and location excluded on purpose)…<\/p>\n
