It's New Kit Day: Unboxing Our New Columbia Highland Summit Jacket + Pants
Winter has begun across most of North America, and we've been busy assembling and fine-tuning our kits and gear for a long season ahead.
There are bases to be carefully waxed, edges to be meticulously sharpened, and new boots to jam our feet into for the first time, but unboxing and trying our new kits from Columbia Sportswear has been nothing but pure fun.
'New kit day' typically only happens once a year (at most) for the majority of skiers. It's a fleeting moment, but the excitement of seeing and checking out our new threads for the first time is best captured on video. Especially when that new kit is full of all of the essentials designed to maximize our performance all day long — which is exactly what the Columbia Highland Summit kit delivers.
Crested Butte skier Bel Young recently received her Highland Summit kit and couldn't wait to show it off. Learn a bit about her before you watch her unboxing video:
"Bell young is a Crested Butte native with a passion for the outdoors. Her parents put her on skis before she could walk and when she's not strutting her stuff on the slopes, you'll find her guiding rafting trips, mountain biking, snowmobiling or just plain enjoying life outside."
Without further ado, check out Bel's unboxing of her brand new Columbia Sportswear Highland Summit jacket and pants:
Here's a little bit about me before you check out my unboxing video below:
"Matt Lorelli is the Trending News Editor for Powder Magazine. He describes himself as "just a skier who likes to talk about skiing." As a kid from Delaware, Matt enjoyed spending the weekends in Pennsylvania's Poconos Mountains, but he lived for ski trips up north to Vermont, and west to Utah. He is in constant search for perfect powder, friendly faces, and fun turns in his new home of Truckee, CA."

Bel and I are beyond stoked for the season to come. We have big plans and our Columbia Highland Summit kits will be keeping us protected from the elements every step of the way.
