💡 Tips from Dan

Your Road Warrior Guide

  • X Games takes place in late January—book way ahead
  • The Hideout terrain park progression is excellent for learning
  • Cliffhouse has surprisingly elevated lunch options
  • Free bus runs from downtown Aspen every 20 minutes
  • Adult beginner packages offer great value

What Dan Packs

Winter changes everything. These make the difference between suffering and enjoying:

Smith Ski Goggles

Essential

Utah powder means flat light. Good goggles are the difference between seeing terrain and guessing.

Hand Warmers

For lift rides. Cheap insurance against frozen fingers.

Helmet with MIPS

Essential

Trees are unforgiving. MIPS technology reduces rotational impact.
