FUNKY CLOUDS, FUNKY BOOTS, FUNKY TELE

There were some very funky clouds around the hill yesterday, apparently a predecessor to the small dump of snow we got last night which had me heading to the parking debacle over in Vail today.
It's the end of the world as we know it...

I repeat, every season, this is NOT telemark skiing, this is Alpine free heel skiing, plastic, medal and cables do not classify as telemark. Nordic skiing is hard, telemark used to be hard, this is easy, go ahead and start your whining, then go jump on your singlespeed..

This is a big bag of smelly shit, and yes, that is a 1986 Spider Ski bag issued from Dano Bruno at Keystone when he was a patroller there
And these are the biggest piece of shit Scarpa Terminator 2 plastic free heel Alpine boots which were all recalled because the billows folded the wrong way out of the factory causing the boot to slice your toes off the first time you dropped to make a turn, they replaced the lowers on ALL of these, I still have a pair of these gems, and they work just fine a million years later.
