Here’s some video to accompany Dre’s account of skiing the Midi.  It’s pretty emo what wwith the black and white and the whimsical acoustic Riders on the Storm. Is it time to ski steeps here?

Me ‘n mutha are doing a ski mountaineering race called the Power of Two together today. It’ll probably go a lot like this.

I’m glad we can stop these tricks now that we’re getting some snow.

I’m ski racing at Crested Butte today.  I’ll probably have to eat a bovine burrito though, in honor of the heroics of several backcountry skiers here earlier this month.  Skiers found some cows atop Heart Attack Ridge, called around the local ranchers, and returned the next day to try to get the cows down.  These cows were luckier than some in a similar conundrum last winter.

Dynafit has released information about some of their new products for next year and they look fantastic. Details are available over at Wild Snow. Here’s my take: Actually, the beast binding looks terrible.  It’s huge and heavy and I don’t need a DIN* of 16.  On the other hand, cliff-hucking clydesdales will certainly appreciate these hogs.  It will make a tour a lot more bearable than with Dukes.  The TLT 6 looks fantastic.  I’ll probably buy a pair of these as they solve a number of issues I have with my current favorite boot, the TLT5.  The wider toebox means I can probably drop a size, I think the meatarsal flex is dumb, and if the lower buckle is actually improved then I might not have to carry extras.  The Steve Romeo skis look cool; light weight on a 106mm-waist rockered ski is perfect for (North American) human-powered powder missions.  The other product I’m awfully excited about is the featherweight Cho Oyu ski.  89mm at the waist and 1080g  in my size makes these skis sound perfect for light and fast ski mountaineering.  I’ll take two. On the aesthetics front, the beast is hideous, TLT6 doesn’t is slightly better, but no pageant winner, Grand Teton looks cool but those graphics scream PNW, and Cho Oyus are spartan and ugly (a difficult and unlikely combination).  Oh well, not everyone can ride beauts or even buttes. *Yeah, DIN certification!  This basically just means that we can start taking the obnoxious caveats out of conversations about tech ski binding release settings.

The uberbros at earlyups are sick of your crappy pictures and videos.  OMGTJK, they love it.  But srsly, get your content up to snuff.
