With World Cup Athlete AJ Ginnis
| Gearing and Packing with AJ Ginnis Talking to our athletes is like digging for gold. The longer we sit there and chat, the more gold we find. And by gold, we mean handy tips, tricks, and life hacks that make things sweeter. That makes things easier.
This time, we picked Alexander J. Ginnis' (or just AJ) brain on gears and gadgets he can't live without while on the road. Born and raised in Vouliagmeni, Greece, until the age of 15, and now residing in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA, AJ knows a thing or two about ditching one continent for another.
After coming through the ranks of the US ski team, AJ switched the red and blue stripes for white and blue - representing Greece at FIS World Cup events. A man of two homes, AJ is no stranger to long flights and layovers. So what better way to get some intel on what to bring on your next trips than from the man himself.
Now, we roll back the curtain and let AJ tell you what to bring on your next trip to make it quicker, cosier, and a hell of a lot more fun... | | | What's in AJ's All-Purpose Duffle Bag? It's funny. Eight years ago, when I started traveling in this fashion (I was 18 years old at the time), I would try to pack as much clothing and gear as humanly possible to accommodate for every single occasion. My coaches and teammates would make so much fun of me for constantly over packing.
Over time, however, I eventually realized that less is indeed more. This is where a partner like Spyder came in and made my life so much easier as they are able to provide me with gear that I was able to use in a variety of situations and conditions without having to sacrifice performance or swag.
Some things that I will never leave behind is my toothbrush and floss, my mouthguard, but a close second are the Founders Anorak Fleece, the Impulse Jacket, and my trusty Rain Shell.
Growing up as a son of a dentist, I cannot fathom how my mom would react if I ever returned home with a cavity or a chipped tooth, so I always keep a toothbrush, floss, and my mouth-guard nearby.
The Anorak Fleece is hands down my favorite 'off the hill' article of clothing. Whether the temperature is deep in the negatives or just a warmer winter day, this fleece will keep me comfortable without throwing on any layers.
Similarly, the Impulse Jacket keeps me comfortable on the hill within the range of temperatures the mountains throw my way. As for the raincoat... have you been skiing in Europe in the last couple of years? Enough said.
