Dan - Your Road Warrior Guide

💡 Tips from Dan

  • Elk Ave downtown has excellent restaurants and bars

  • Stay downtown for the full CB experience

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.
