Nick Huzar is the CEO & co-founder of OfferUp, an online marketplace and mobile app that allows users to buy and sell anything from cars to toys. OfferUp is the perfect app to download around the holidays when you need to purge all your old stuff to make room for your shiny new stuff. Nick ascribes to Yoda’s famous catchphrase, “There is no try, only do,” and according to his Twitter bio, will ride anything with a board. He brings that obsession for all things winter sports to this gift guide, filled with amazing gifts for anyone who loves to get outside in the snow.
... more“In the winter it gets dark in the Northwest pretty early, so some of the best skiing takes place at night. After work, I like to head to the slopes and do some night skiing, and though courses are lit, it’s always nice to have some extra light to manage your runs.”
“Investing in a solid pair of waterproof and warm gloves is a must for any winter sports enthusiast. Take good care of these and they’ll last you a lifetime.”
“There’s nothing like being able to re-live a legendary run over and over again, even in the warmth of your house or the dead of summer. Helmet mounted HD cameras are at the pinnacle of their performance right now, and this one is great because its' case is heavily shock absorbent and waterproof.”
“Some people ski, some people board, but either way I love to support local brands. Lib Tech was started in the Seattle area in the ’80s and their boards are well known for their technical design. In addition, the company has always been committed to environmental sustainability and uses environmentally friendly materials in their production.”
“These are the perfect goggles for sunny weather with some clouds. The weather in the Northwest varies a bunch, and I love a good Bluebird day (sunny), but you should always prepare for some cloud cover.”
Fresh Chalk has partnered with Nick to support the NAACP. Nick supports the NAACP due to their history and rigor with supporting community empowerment and social justice.
