Insane in the brain! I met Jer at his house at 5:30 this morning and we waited for David. We gave him a call a littl
e while later only to wake him up. Needless to say he did not make it up there with us today. We then made our way up to the Spruces parking lot. We listened to The Pixies - Surfer Rosa on the drive up. We crossed the street and made our way up to short swing in Mill D. Because of these 'insane' conditions we both decided it would be to our benefit to both be on 'Insane' skis. I borrowed some demos for next year's ski and Jer was on his from this year. We made the long hike up (much longer than you would think) and began our descent. Can we just talk about these skis? They are so sweet! I put my O1s on them for today. My idea is to ride
them with these bindings today then switch to the switchbacks for this weekend so I can really judge the difference. I definitely felt some tip dive with the activity of this binding, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. It will be interesting to see what the story is. The skiing was great today. The snow was a little heavy, but still good. It was even deeper than we were expecting. All in all it was a good day. We wound it all down with Devotchka - How It Ends on the ride down.
