    skiing the bunny slopes

    Actually, a hiking boot toe/ heel design (I wasn't referring to the sole makeup) will work with only a few AT bindings, such as those with wire bales. I have a pair of 30 yr old Ramers that I was able to use with my old leather mountaineering boots. inz, those boots should work with any...

    Those are climbing boots, and won't work with tele or AT binders, I'm quite sure.

    skiing the bunny slopes

    107 meters...350 feet.... not beyond comprehension that he survived--the landing was steep, and a coupla meters deep..... skydivers have survived chute snafus---fallen into swamps, etc.... but,man, my pants woulda needed to be burned if that'd been me on that launch.

    They tried...but at the speed he was going, they had little warning that he was on the wrong line.... Seems, that with the vastness of the terrain above the cliff, that a coupla marker flags woulda been a good thing. He did an amazing job of going with the flow when he realized his mistake. In...

    Thanks, James, I'd heard about Fred's lucky mistake shortly after it happened, but this was the first time I'd seen the footage.

    skiing the bunny slopes

    Winds hit 62, but the high wind watch was cancellled. Not much in the way of power outages. So, maybe I'll go skiing tomorrow. It's snowed 3 more inches at my house, and took longer to start in the mts.....but if there's a foot or more there by morning, i'm in....Winds up there don't look too bad.
