Shopping: The Chanel Snowboard
December 2, 2008
Fashion-conscious snowboarders looking to take their ride to the next level can turn to Chanel this season, and shell out a paltry $2,750 USD for a high-gloss ebony board adorned with the signature Chanel logotype. Not pricey enough for you? Sporting enthusiasts can also pick up a $12,000 USD cruiser bike (complete with quilted design), or the $18,000 USD fishing rod. That’ll reel ‘em in.
Personally, I’ll skip the couture and stick with my old Burton Feel Good.
Besides, if I did have a spare two grand, I’d be going on my very first heli-boarding experience. This year, Mike Wiegele Helicopter Skiing is offering trips suitable for intermediate riders. The First Timer’s Dream Package — two days & two nights for $2,000 — includes professional guiding, the use of a powder board (or skis for you two-plankers), safety equipment, accommodation, meals and endless powder runs in the Cariboo and Monashee mountains. Sigh. www.wiegele.com
Wow that was expensive. Hopefully I can afford to buy one for myself.
The Channel board is actually a rebranded Nidecker Megalight
