Ski Mountaineering Blogs and Being a Loser

the snow is about to fly. if you ski, and by that i mean you earn your turns the way god intended then you have to follow these two blogs.

• andew mcclean - my buddy cory likes to call this guy the "best skier in the world". he's a fellow mountain hardwear athlete. he skis the sickest lines in the sickest place. and he just gave away a free pair of k2 skis on his blog - many reasons to follow along.

am i the biggest loser?
so i'm watching "the biggest loser" which i heard from a friend was good. well it's not, sorry copson. but i am taken by how good and low cal the meals appear on the show. to help those of us at home they also push these recipies online. i think "very cool" and grab the computer. in reading the thai salmon sate recipe i'm wondering how this is the advertised "250 calories" that is claims on the tv show. i then notice the fine print. the astericks at the bottom of the page says..

"*On-air, The Biggest Loser contestants made substitutions to some key ingredients in the recipes to limit the number of calories."

what?! then what is the point of showing us these recipes if they aren't what the contestants are using! man, rocho i'm disappointed, and shame on you nbc.

TetonAT.com & the Teton Circumnavigation

the backcountry skiing god himself steve romeo asked me to write a quick post for his tetonat.com website on my teton circumnavigation run.. so i obliged.

also of note peter bakwin who keeps track of these records on his website fastest know times or fkt has added my route and time to it as the fastest known time - now it's on!

on my way back to the teton's i got word from jay batchen that jared campbell was going to attempt to break my speed record for the loop this saturday. there is noticeably less snow to contend with so we'll see if it gets taken down - i just think it's cool someone of his caliber is already here trying!
