Really northface?

Quoted from their website as a description of their Gonzo jacket:

"Ramp-up your steezy style with this eye-catching, functional snowsports jacket."

..."steezy style"? "Ramp up"? I knew it felt weird having northface in the action sports world. Huge props to Riddle/Martini/Wallisch for joining their team and bringing in a newcomer to the freeski world, but let's just hope they work on their marketing.

Thoughts?

well we have to dress like this though because we simply cannot support north face with such a ridiculous marketing strategy... I mean 'steezy', absolutely unacceptable language to describe their Gonzo Jacket.

The only problem I have with North Face is the Uggs and black tights you have to wear with them.

By no means is that what I mean. I am saying I don't want to wear them.

Start expanding into the freeski world?

They were probably one of the first companies to ever get super involved with the freeski world, likely before you were born.

Go watch Blizzard of Ahhs.
