My creative energy is gone. I have no interesting observations or fun little stories (at least none that would go in this family-rated blog)

I do however have a few pictures

All of these were taken on Teton Pass. The snow was getting better and better until a bit of rain came through and ruined everything. A mean rain crust now resides on top instead of 10" of blower that never materialized from this storm. It could seriously mess up the backcountry. We'll have to see.

The good news is the new Praxis 195's rip. Since they are reverse camber and reverse sidecut the added 10cm doesn't effect the quickness factor as much as it would on a normal ski. In fact, I think these are just as good in trees/tight situations as the 185s except they get up to speed faster. The improved graphics are amazing and damn near works of art. I mention this only because I usually could care less about the way a ski looks and really only worried about the way it skis...


Pat said it best, the cool part about the Praxis is that they are good at pinning it yet still playful and surfy. There are tons of skis that do one or the other...Praxis does both.
