Teva is a Hebrew word for "nature" and the name of a brand of outdoor adventure performance and lifestyle footwear. They are best known for their nylon webbing and velcro closure river sandal, but have since moved into a complete line of outdoor performance and lifestyle footwear, including trail runners, light hikers, and casual shoes. Well-known for their support of environmental causes, and along with Chacos, Keens, ubiquitous in the Arkansas River Valley of Colorado - especially during rafting season. Sometimes worn by poseurs but still worn by many legit woodsy hipsters, trustafarians and male and female mountainsexuals Available from outdoor specialty shops such as The Trailhead in Buena Vista, Colorado.

a brand of superior outdoors clothing and equipment worn and used by discerning and discriminating outdoors enthusiasts. Known for great technical style, clean and sleek design. Marmot produces technical outdoors and outdoors lifestyle clothing without ridiculous prices. Probably best known for PreCip rainwear, DriClime windshirts, and their sleeping bags but also make beautiful softshells, down jackets, tents and packs. Big break and defining moment came when they did down jackets for the Clint Eastwood classic "The Eiger Sanction", reflected to this day in the clean Euro look of their products. Used by professional guides, carried primarily in outdoor specialty shops such as The Trailhead in Buena Vista, Colorado.
Ian - "That's a great looking jacket. Does it keep you warm and dry? Who makes it?"
Carlos - "Yes, it kept me warm and dry in Chamonix. It's waterproof, breathes well, and doesn't have a bunch of useless non-functional crap on it. It's from Marmot."

Order given by leader of a group when walking out of a dark area, such as an office building, mall, airport terminal, or theater into bright sunlight. Max style points are achieved when the posse lowers their shades in unison, like a precision drill team. For this reason, the group leader says "Shades" as a preparatory and after a slight pause for each member to reach up with their right hand to grasp their sunglasses at the hinge point, or to say "Wait! I'm fishing for my keys!" emphasizes "DOWN." The leader must also anticipate arriving at the exit and time his order appropriately.
Keith, Dan, and Jeff are easily approaching the exit with their shades propped coolly upon their heads. Seeing the bright sunlight outside through the doors...
Keith: "Shades DOWN!"
Keith: "Shades DOWN!"

Buena Vista is an historic town in Central Colorado located in the Upper Arkansas River Valley. The Arkansas River and the Collegiate Peaks with numerous fourteeners dominate the region. Mining, railroading, and ranching are the major historical influences. Today outdoor recreation activities such as whitewater kayaking,rafting,mountain biking, road cycling,trail running, climbing, bouldering, hiking, and much more dominate the local scene. In winter, Alpine, Nordic, and backcountry skiing & snowboarding and snowshoeing are available. The Colorado Trail and the Continental Divide Trail transit the area, and there are many, many miles of other trails. The area is am outdoor enthusiasts' dream, and it's still pretty cheap. The vibe is really laid back and unpretentious. People wear Tevas, Chaco, Keens, Patagonia, The North Face, Mountain Hardwear, Royal Robbns, Marmot, etc. - to court or church. Buena Vista is home to one of the original independent outdoor shops, The Trailhead and Trailhead Cycle & Ski. They are small but very good and still one of the best outdoor shops - bar none - in the world. The Trailhead is the best place to go for any information on outdoor activities, places to go, and anything you need from outdoor gear, clothes, stove fuel, bike parts, footwear, travel items (you name it) while you're in the area. Locals and visitors all go there. They can handle everything and everybody from hard-core dirtbag hikers and climbers to trustafarians to MountainSexuals to a trip to Europe.

Another term for leftover coffee - especially really good coffee. When you have too much cold coffee to dump out before starting another pot so you nuke it a cup at a time in the microwave. This is different than re-warming a cup you allowed to get cold. Incentives are high if you buy really good coffee and happens most frequently in the morning or late afternoon.
"Okay, there's plenty of nuclear coffee in the pot. It's good stuff and you can microwave it, so don't dump it out and make a new pot. I don't give a rat's ass if you're a coffee snob. it's to good and I paid to much for it to dump out."
