Hey all you ColdAvenger fans, did you know that May is Asthma Awareness Month? Since this is the month for everyone to learn a little bit more about this serious, sometimes life-threatening chronic disease, we have pulled a few websites together that can help.
Check out the USEPA’s website on “What is Asthma” here: http://www.epa.gov/asthma/about.html
Go here to identify asthma triggers in your home that you can help control.
Also check out Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America’s website here: http://www.aafa.org/

Talus athlete, Hari Mix, and his crew headed to Everest Basecamp #3 for the final climatization climb. Hari and team are searching how everyday activities are affected in extreme environments. Hari left a phonecast on his last blog dated April 24th, 2013 saying that he was looking forward to the climb and would be back in five to seven days. To listen to the entire phonecast click here. We would like to say good luck to Hari and his team on his climbs and research on Everest!

Talus Outdoor Technologies’s supported, The Coldest Journey’s Ice Team, is stuck in what Rob Lambert, a crew member, calls the Holey Land. From a blog report posted on April 28th, Rob reported that the Ice Team was stuck in the middle of a minefield of crevasses. Crevasses are holes in the ice that could potentially damage the Cats or injure team members. The Ice Team is focused on predicting the location of crevasses so the ice train can continue the journey safely. But, at the current moment things are standing still until a safe route is found to continue. To stay up-to-date follow our blog or to get the most recent news follow The Coldest Journey’s Blog here.
Check out the video below by Ian Prickett wearing our ColdAvenger face mask, telling everyone about their position and about crossing the Mother of All Blue Ice Crevasses Field. Plus check out their exact position on the live map.
After watching that video, I’ve never been so sure that the ColdAvenger is at home with that crew!

Reasearcher and ColdAvenger athlete, Hari Mix, is attempting to climb Lhotse without oxygen this spring with Chris Klinke and Dr. Eric Meyer. Hari is also a part of the The Extreme Environments-Everyday Decision (Triple ED) Mt. Everest research project that aims to study decision-making processes in the dangerous context of Mt. Everest. The team of six researches will interview guides, climbers and sherpas during their two-month expedition to the Mt. Everest base camp. During an acclimatization climb Hari also gathered information for Adventurers and Scientist for Conservation. Just below the summit of Lobuche East he rappelled off the lip of a crevasse to gather snow and ice samples for a colleague that is focused on the thinning of Himalayan glacier due to climate change and the role of dust and other particles in accelerating the melting. To hear more about his research projects and see his postcard like pictures go to his website and read his blog here.

December 2012 was a great month for us here at Talus Outdoor Technologies and one highlight would be readying about ourselves in our Sunday paper, the Missoulian. We got a chance to sit down and and talk with reporter Jenna Cederberg. This article focused on the ColdAvenger being used by Sir Ranulph Fiennes as he sets off to lead the first winter expedition across the Antarctic. Read the full article here.

Ever wondered what kind of ColdAvenger® you should get? It’s a big decision, and before you leap, you should take a look at your options.
Just like any good product, there are many different ColdAvengers to choose from.
Key features:
Patented ventilator
Prevents fogging
Manages moisture
Allows you to breathe naturally
Warms and humidifies each breath
So now the question is which one to choose? Here are your options:
ColdAvenger® Classic Fleece:
This option is made with classic fleece that breathes and insulates well but is not windproof or water resistant. It’s perfect most wintertime adventures.
ColdAvenger® Pro Softshell:
Made with soft-shell fleece–a tightly knit fleece with a laminate nylon shell–the ColdAvenger Pro is wind and water resistant. 
ColdAvenger® Expedition Balaclava:
This is the warmest and most versatile cold weather mask available. It’s made with Polartec® Wind Pro®, an extremely breathable fleece that is four times more wind resistant than classic fleece. It comes in two pieces for easy removal of the ventilator while still protecting your head and neck from the cold. 
ColdAvenger® FRC Expedition Balaclava:
This option is made with Polartec® Thermal FR® fabric which combines the performance benefits of heavy fleece with the protection of permanent flame resistance. This one also come in two-piece design which allows for easy removal of the ventilator.
So now you can better choose which one is best for you or for a loved one this new year–get them all here.

Skier Chris Rubens, Greg Franson of BlueBird Guides, Skier Julian Carr
The O’Shaugnessy Center in Whitefish, Montana was packed with powder lovers on Sunday for the Third Annual Whitefish Mountain Films. Pro skiers Julian Carr and Chris Rubens were on hand to share some stories give some love back to the community.
With great films illustrating mountain culture from a tribute to local snowboarder Aaron Robinson, to meat-hucking GoPro edits, to skiing with the President of the Republic of Georgia, the films offered diverse education and entertainment. Black Star beer provided their signature brew in their new tallboys, and a massive raffle dotted the evening with edge-of-seat fun.
Talus was well-represented, of course, and a lucky ticket holder walked away with a ColdAvenger Classic.

Up here in NW Montana, you never know what (whom?) you might encounter when you hit the mountaintops. For anyone who has schushed The Big, just off Chair Two, Mountain Jesus is a familiar companion.
A statue installed in 1955, and viewed by many as a memorial to WWII Veterans, it’s no surprise that the news it might be taken down has stoked some serious controversy in these parts. The National Forest Service heard the wrath of a large number of folks when they announced they would not be renewing the permit for the statue on NFS land. A “save Jesus” Facebook page has erupted (the irony here is too thick to even touch!), and so much outcry has been heard that they have decided to reopen the consideration of a lease renewal.
For us, we like Mountain Jesus because he’s been there as long as we can remember, and it’s always fun hitting the powder with Jesus at your back.
No politics, no religion, just cool dude up on the mountain, giving us that comforting look as we tempt death once again with some lumber strapped to our feet.
Hope things go ok for you, Mountain Jesus.
