-Trip Report- Camel's Hump: The Hard Way (February 2008)

Does somebody smell burning gloves?



The stop sign sailed by us as the staccato thumping of the anti-lock brakes broke the silence.  The words "hang on guys" came out of my mouth so matter-of-factly that Gered and Brett wondered if I knew we were sliding out of control.

The Edge of Never is a ski movie out this Fall.  It follows the child of extreme skier Trevor Petersen who goes to ski a Chamonix run where his father died.

Child abuse or a tribe's epic journey to help a boy become a man?

-Trip Report- Killington: Skipping Purgatory (October 2010)



I feel like I've done something wrong.  For me,  Halloween is the official end of Fall and then there's a full month of misery (also known as November) before winter.

Put simply: I skied on October 16th.  Before Halloween. Before Thanksgiving.  Before Daylight Savings.  Something's wrong.
