Summit Flashbacks was born out of my own love for the history of mountain sports in the Northeast. My dad squeezed in a Killington trip with my mom while she was pregnant with me (smart man) and another to Okemo the next season when I was only a few months old. I think some cosmic influence occurred in these moments where I'd forever be drawn to winter in Vermont. 

I learned to ski at Killington when I was 6 and from then on, we maintained the annual New Jersey tradition of planning a ski trip up north. It became a dream to move closer to skiing some day and here I am, a couple decades later, living and working out of Montpelier, VT.

Whenever I go back and look at those old photos I just get charmed by the vibe of these mountains back then. Things were a bit less polished. Shops printed weird shirts just for a laugh. There was more of a homegrown look to it all. And in whatever way I can, I'd like to revive some of that. 

This shop is a side project and a constant work in progress. I'm just one guy and I'm only looking to put some gas in the tank to visit my favorite mountains in the Northeast. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.
