New Johnnie Walker Meant for Après-Ski
The latest collaboration from Johnnie Walker - Blue Label Ice Chalet - comes to you with help from Perfect Moment, the luxury ski apparel brand.
Even if you don’t like scotch whisky, the branding and imaging does make it look rather refreshing after a day on the slopes.
Maybe the only thing to make this collab even better would be to include the fake DJ from everyone’s favorite viral après-ski video:
Speaking of a Cold Ones
But what if you can’t wait until the après and you want a cold one while you’re still on the slopes. Enter the geniuses at Mann Makes who introduce the Beer Buckle. It attached to your snowboard, holding up to 3 beers for you to enjoy wherever you are on the mountain. Sneak one while you’re on the chairlift (don’t mind the foam) and have yourself a day.
A Musical Holiday Tradition
Each holiday season our boy Amtrac releases a mix with a bunch of his music that didn’t make the vinyl press. It’s an hour long set and easily one of our favorite listens each holiday season. It’s a wide spectrum of his music genres. You’ll get some DJ Shadow vibes, some J Dilla, even some faster tracks but all with his amazing signature vocals. While we wait for this year’s please enjoy his release from last fall. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Happy Thanksgiving, y’all!
