Dynastar Course Ti
Immediately following a much-too-few blazing runs on Dynastar’s Speed Course Ti ski, the entirety of my written notes consisted of two words: “I’m Sold.” The Course Ti, part of Dynastar’s Speed series, is a formidable reminder that while Rocker may be the next big thing for powder skis, camber reigns supreme when it comes to hard-snow carving (more…)

Atomic Crimson Ti
With its blazing red graphics and its innovative ‘adaptive’ camber, Atomic’s Crimson Ti ski was poised to become the go-to All-Mountain plank in my ski quiver…and then I tried it.

In the California Sun…
Back home now from the Ski Channel Film Festival and SIA Denver. I have to say, as much as I enjoyed skiing in Colorado, it sure feels good to get back into some California sunshine.
Temps were a very balmy 65 degrees or so when I arrived in Denver last week, shifting abruptly to a bitter -16° F this morning (today’s forecast high: -3). I don’t think I’ve ever experienced such a radical temperature shift in one location in such a short period of time. If you include the overnight low tonight, Denver will see an overall temperature change approaching ninety (that is nine zero) degrees in the span of 3-4 days. My condolences to those who stayed behind!
Much to say about the Film Fest and SIA. But for now, I’m going to relax a bit. It’s been a dizzying and very busy past few days!
