In lieu of a lift ticket...

I checked in on Gibisch's blog to find he's been backcountry skiing the hard way. Forget skins, he prefers ice axes. I e-mailed him to bust his balls about what a psycho he is, but in reality, I'm jealous. Check out the ice face that came crashing down during their climb. Just cheatin' death for a few turns. :)

Can't remember the last time I had to worry about "self-arresting" up at Sundance. :)

A ridge with a view.

Dr. West has been flying over Cape Town. Wasn't able to get atop Table Mountain, but the views still look stunning.

And Finally...

I happened upon a "PG hobo chick's" blog the other day complete with a photo album from mexico. Yelapa sounds like a place one can completely unplug and seriously waste some time "re-creating" with margaritas and wave watching.

Jealousy through imagery. Looks pretty magical.
