David Light
Born in the not-so-tough suburbs of Philadelphia, David Light spent his winters wiping out on the icy Pocono Mountains. While Light has enjoyed Aspen, Killington, and Cortina d'Ampezzo, his fondest memories are of that first time flying downhill at breakneck speed. As a writer, Light has scribed TV shows as well as articles for newspapers and online magazines. He is married to a Rabbi which he admits is a bit like having all the scrutiny of being a celebrity - with very little of the upside. He is also the father of three angelic ass-kicking kids and is eager to get them on the slopes.

Deal of the Day
Mountain Hardwear Men's Dome Perignon Beanie
Sale Price: $14.99 (58% Off)
Retail Price: $35.95
Offering high elevation performance and yes, even style, the Mountain Hardwear Men's Dome Perignon Beanie is a windproof fleece hat that continues to be a top seller. Made from Polartec Thermal Pro Nailhead fleece on top, this fleece beanie is lined with AirShield Elite to stop cold winds from penetrating and has a stretch panel at the back to create a snug fit. The fleece-lined earband is soft and the entire hat remains breathable to help vent sweat when activity levels increase. Weighing in at less than 3 ounces, this winter hat is versatile enough to pack for backpacking trips during all 4 seasons and is comfy enough to help you catch some ZZZs on a cross-Atlantic flight. Customers say the windproof fabric cuts down on your ability to hear but agree that it is a worthy tradeoff for superior wind protection. From a spring ski tour in the Rockies to a winter walk along the cliffs of Lake Superior, the Mountain Hardwear Dome Perignon Beanie for men is a versatile favorite with a high warmth-to-weight ratio.
