Aaaaand we’re back! It was long hiatus, we know. This winter has definitely been a crazy one with all the weird weather but it’s finally kicking back. And with that, we’d like you to check this out:
We’re sponsoring the Slopestyle Comp at Marble this weekend along with SIDEWAYS, and its so worth checking out. There is some insanely talented people to watch for, so definitely drop up.
And as for shop news:
- all outwear is 20% off
- selected clothing has been marked down starting at 20% off
- selected purses at 20% off
- selected footwear at 50% off
- Roxy/Quiksilver spring and summer clothing is showing up daily
Annnnnnnd just to leave you with some awesome footage, with none other than Golden Boy…
(Who was surprised he won? No one, I know. Wicked.)
Your coming down the hill. Your tired of squinting your eyes. Your face is cold. Your eyelashes are stuck together because your eyes won’t stop watering. You give up, and head in for the day.
Lets try and avoid that this year, okay?
The answer is goggles – and we definitely have a pair that would be perfect for you. Now, most people are generally familiar with Oakley, but there’s another goggle company that’s been expanding their lines a lot the last few years and also makes a PHENOMENAL product that we think you should know about. We’re talking about Anon, and here you go:
The Realm (featured above in Apocalypto)
This is generally the widest frame that Anon makes, so if you have a small face please put this frame down and find another one - unless uncomfortable is what your going for. Also, some other notable points about these goggles is that they come in about 13 different colors/patterns, they have an interchangeable strap which can be switched up with any other pairs of Anons you have, and they have a plush fit foam that makes them sit really comfortably on your face.
The Solace (featured above in Work of Art)
This is a relatively new frame Anon put out last year, that they’ve continued to improve on and definitely doesn’t dissappoint. It fits most people quite comfortably, but again – you have to try them on and feel it out for yourself. It comes in about 13 different colors, has the interchangeable strap feature, and the plush foam.
The Hawkeye (featured above in Corked Out)
A brand new frame for Anon that’s already doing quite well. It’s fit is smaller than the Realms, and is being received as quite a good fitting frame in our shop. It’s featured in about 13 different colors, and also includes the plush foam.
The Figment (featured above in Curacao)
This is shaped the same as the Realms, but slightly smaller. It too comes in 13 different colors (most of which covers your basics, and some which feature some really nice graphics), and has Anon’s plush fit foam.
The Majestic (featured above in Tokyo)
These frames are generally most popular for women and kids, as they are the smallest/slimmest frames Anon retails. They too come in 13 different colors, and YES, have the plush fit foam.
The Helix (featured above in White)
A lower priced option that still provides comfort and style. This frame is really lightweight, and fits similar to the Majestic. It also comes in 13 different colors.
Stay tuned for more Goggle updates from other brands soon! We hope this helped.

Hello Villagers!!!
Flurries are in the forecast for next week and we couldn’t be more excited!! With that in mind, we wanted to update you on a couple of things.
This year, companies are focusing their dollars on marketing products that are feasable widespread due to economic strains worldwide with eyecatching colors and strong but safe prints. Trendsetters like The North Face and Burton have followed through with their promise to deliver pieces that will not only keep you looking fly for seasons to come, but also to provide you with unbelievable technology so that your product will stand any abuse you throw its way for years to come. However, due to the economic strain, this means that there are NO products this year that are available for re-order. Every year we see less and less product offered after our original ship dates, and this year there is no exception. For those of you who are procrastinating coming up and checking everything out, don’t wait much longer!
We have already sold out of many styles of snowboards. Yes, that means Burton. They’re kickin it this year!! V-Rocker baby!! Sizing for jackets and pants is still pretty great, and we still have some absolutely beautiful jackets left for women. There are so many choices in colors, subdued prints, and coordinating pants and accessories. For guys, there are killer graphics and unbelieveable colors and styles. Combinations are endless. Remember - we also stock base layers and suits for kids, and offer XXL in many styles for both men and women.
For any skier and snowmobile enthusiasts we have Spyder, TNF, Klim, and Arcteryx which are all are top choices for style, fuction, and fit. As always, these companies not only offer hard hitting technical clothing, but also some very trendsetting styles with trademark technology that will get you noticed by the the most dubious clothing conneseurs.
Remember we only “hold” items until store close of the evening you were in the shop, so don’t be dissapointed if 3 days later your item is out and sold!!!Instead – try our layaway plan. For our layaway plan, we have now extended it until Christmas, meaning that as long as you are willing to pay a 20% downpayment and agree with our easy payment terms, you are able to layaway anything in the store. Conditions do apply, so please ask one of our fantastic staff members for details on how to participate in this.
For you parents that are looking for some Santa gifts, feel free to bring up your kids, get them outfitted, give us the wink and we can process the “Santa” order later for you over the phone. Or slip us the money for layaway deposit on your way out the door.
And as always we offer package (reduced) pricing on all complete sets of equipment. The more you buy the more you save. This offer is available ALL THE TIME!! Not just weekend promos. We are one of the only Ski shops in Canada that do this guys!!
Hours for the shop are 7 days a week, 9am-8pm daily. If there are any questions you may for us like whether we carry a specific product your trying to track down, inquiries over a special order, etc., then please don’t hestitate to call us at any time at 1-709-639-8168, ext #4. If we are serving customers and can’t get to the phone right away please feel free to leave us a message or try back at a later time. We also ship anywhere… even Europe!! Packages can be sent via bus, regular mail, C.O.D., or courier. Also, feel free to contact us on our website georgesmountainvillage.com, or leave a comment here. We’d love to hear from you!
We will be featuring selected product weekly now on the blog site. These features will be on product that we have in store that we feel should receive a bit of special attention, due to its technology, design, or just plain cause we like it and want it share it with you guys and get it out there some more. If there is anything that you’d like featured, drop us a line and its no trouble for us to pull up some information on it. Chances are if your wondering, so is someone else.
And just a quick promo for Marble, early bird pass prices are only available until the end of October at Marble Mountain. Don’t spend extra money if you don’t have to!!
And finally, thanks for reading!! The blog is really kicking off well, and we’ve just received our 500th view as of last night. Pretty good for only being about a month and a half old! Anyways, thanks again, and we hope to see you soon!!
PS: Bring on winter!!!!

As some of you may have seen from news on the net, a popular waterbottle company that we market called Sigg is doing a “voluntary exchange program” on their waterbottles that have been purchased before August 2008. This is because they have been found to have a liner that leaks BPA. If anyone has purchased one from here and is questioning whether you have the new bottle or the older one that should be exchanged, then check out their website as per how to verify which bottle you own/how to exchange it for a BPA free one if you do in fact have the older liner. The link is: http://mysigg.com/liner/
Thanks, and our apologies,
George’s Mountain Village Staff
