I must say I used to trash talk Subaru’s. That was back before I was a ski bum and when the only Subaru I knew was my Mom’s. I don’t believe that car ever cracked 80, then I got my drivers license and things changed. I found out that it could go over 100, was amazing at e-brake turns and that you could only jump it 20ft twice before things came to a halt. This all happened around the time the WRX STI hit the market, instantly I wanted one. I’ve been dreaming of that car ever since. I came across this video the other day and I think this might just be the dream Subaru for any skier, I know it’s mine. -Ryland Mauck-Duff

Semi-Green Ski Boots
December 2, 2009Are you burdened by the fact that your ski boots are a petroleum based product? Well now you don’t have to switch back to the ol’ leather kicks to have guilt free turns. This season Scarpa will introduce two eco-friendly boots, the T2 Eco tele boot and the Tornado Eco AT boot. Both are made from plant based oils opposed to the traditional petroleum based oils, thus using a third less fossil fuels to produce. And not only are they slightly more friendly to the environment, but Scarpa’s new plastic, Pebax Rnew, is also said to retain it’s rigidity over a wider range of temperatures. Check them out at www.scarpa.com.

Who is the Ultimate Ski Bum?
November 23, 2009
It is not quite clear who the ultimate ski bum is, however, our good friend Joey Wallis has made a compelling case in his most recent ski video. He portrays himself as a biblical ski child resembling Moses, in Iowa. After taking time to pursue his photography career, Joey entered the Telemark World Championships in Moena, Italy last season and won! Enjoy.

FlyLow is taking off for 2009-10
November 18, 2009
The ski hills are opening every day, the third major storm cycle is heading our way from the Northwest and people are purchasing FlyLow across the country driving sales up 110% from last season. We just returned from an East Coast trip and saw some of our great new accounts in the region: Onion River Sports in Montpelier, Skier Shop in Stowe and The Wilderness House in Boston and Sunday River. These stores were hand picked to help spread the word of FlyLow in the East. If you are going skiing on the East Coast these are the places for everything you need on the hill.

Insta-Base at Baker
November 11, 2009We got around three feet of snow in the Northwest last weekend and decided to enjoy it care free… 12 miles of logging road put us at the trailhead in 6 inches of fresh, but we still had to boot pack a mile up a Forest Service trail before the relief of skinning.
Gram doesn't like boot packing, but he likes pow!
About an hour and a half of climbing put us deep in powplayland.
powplayland
playing
Powplayland+skiing=Happy campers
Happy campers
another happy camper skinning up
Low coverage on the narrow trail down provided an exciting exit, but we made it to the car at dusk tired, wet, hungry, and still happy 
Cheers!

POWDERWHORES SKI AT THE RESORT
November 9, 2009
The world famous PowderWhores, lead by Noah and Jonah Howell, pride themselves on climbing peaks and 
skiing down. Well, while on tour with them in Colorado I found myself shocked that I was riding the lifts at Copper with PowderWhore. I fear for the future of the film crew as the laziness I observed today may turn into a filthy habit of riding lifts. Who knows, maybe they will be come mogul skiers and make a sweet freestyle film. I hope not though. Their new movie FLAKES is great and it would be a shame to have them end their backcountry skiing careers.
