Skiing, that is!! Closing weekend at Crystal was a freaking blast. We finally got some consistent warm weather, with no snow having fallen for a couple weeks, so the corn snow developed nicely!

This is a quick video with a couple clips and lots of stills, featuring my old friend Bryce, who was paralyzed 18 years ago in a paragliding accident. He has had an amazing recovery, and though he can barely climb stairs, he can ski almost as well as before. He's even done double back flips....He used to be a top mogul competitor, as well as doing a fair bit of speed skiing, attaining a top speed of 117. (The world record was just smashed again this year, and is now 158 mph!! That's way faster than freefall, thanks to the vectoring effect, like sailing a foil) Be sure to view on YT, in HD and full frame....
