Skiing Sultan and Grand Turk

Last weekend I had some epic skiing on Sultan and Grand Turk near Silverton, Colorado. I was lucky enough to ski for a day with the bachelor party for Ian Altman's upcoming nuptials. Also there for some epic turns were Chris Fickel, Brian Murray, Jason Hooten, Brett Keyes, and Steiner.

Here, you can see Chris Fickel broke his ski, however, being an engineer he was able to effect a repair and even made some sweet turns. Unfortunately, the ski broke in half about 80% of the way down, and he had to posthole out. Most impressive was the way he maintained an imperturbable attitude throughout, somehow knowing that it would all work out for the best and he would still get to make turns.

Here's a video:

Snow Day in the La Platas

Me and Brian Murray, aka Murdock hit up the La Plata Mountains last sunday for a day of trekking and skiing. We weren't expecting too much in the way of turns since it has been a while since it snowed, but the north facing slopes were not too bad at all. Below, I have posted my first video, on this, my first blog post on Blogspot.com. If you want to see my previous blog entries, you may do so at aarondenberg.wordpress.com

This is my first time editing a video, and the scene cuts may or may not be where I deleted faceplants. It is possible that another explanation exists.
