He has a special skiing beanie.... it's odd seeing him without the usual isn't it?

I'd be surprised if there were - he skis quite well.
This makes me the first man to climb Mount Everest backwards, without oxygen...or even a jumper.

The skis are remarkably good.
They make great snow shoes.
They are very light to carry.
They are very easy to turn.
I even tried skiing downhill with the skins on.... its quite surreal.. like skiing in slow motion.
Balance is critical.
I want to try them on piste at a resort. I think they would be a lot of fun.

Great shots! I was up on Marions with a guest on Sunday and it was amazing how much of the snow was gone (given we had about a foot through Pinestone Valley on Saturday)!
