    Backcountry Touring Poles

    Looking for a pair of adjustable length poles to use for touring. That being said I have always had an affinity to the poles with the extended foam grips on them that kind of have rings to place your fingers between going down the whole foam section (does that make sense)? Does anyone know what...

    Safety Colorado Front Range Avalanche Safety Courses

    Getting into the backcountry and being able to ski/navigate (not to mention have a good time) is one of my biggest goals as a skier right now.

    Drinking and Skiing

    As a group, at least one of us carries a flask during the day (esp those bitter cold days), and sometimes at lunch, enjoy an (yes one) adult beverage. But, we don't go out on the mountain intoxicated at all. We want to have a great, safe day on the mountain, enjoy après' at the end of the day...

    I was just reminded of an article that I first read in 2011 and thought it was worth sharing....again. The joy of sliding: Why our feet make skiing feel so sexy Skiing’s sexy mojo might just be a marketing ploy combined with a sharky singles scene and Hollywood hype, but a close look at the...
