Ski Wisdom
Touring Ski
I used to insist that I could skin anything on my 140 mm wide inverse skis in half the time.... Maybe I could.... but I doubt it was ever the case. Skit touring has helped bring me back to the roots of ski design. For touring I've come to respect and appreciate the traditional ski shape; you get good stability and control on hard and icy snow, and a ski that skins and traverses very well. 90 - 100 mm under foot is just enough to float most snow, but still small enough to put 2000 vertical meters on the ski in a day. Around 20 m radius, it gives you the good response, but not to grabby to push you around at the end of a long day. A nice addition can be to add small tip and tail rocker, combined with standard camber in the center of the ski; with this you get a little extra float, without loosing much in the way of stability and hard snow performance. Its the latest upgrade on a tried and true concept. Its also possible to go a little inverse with side cut in the tips and tails, but this will cost you a bit of stability on hard snow and especially on the traverses.
Do it all Resort Ski
First of all It should be a ski at least 100 mm under foot to give you decent flotation under foot, but probably not more than 115 mm to make it possible to ski aggressively on hard snow. Otherwise there is a lot of room for personal preference. You could go with a standard shape, 20 meter radius for a quicker turn on hard snow, or up around 30 meters for high speed stability. There is also the inverse option, but with a bit of radius under foot to give some control on the piste. My personal pick is our Early Bird with rocker star camber (tip and tail rocker combined with standard camber under foot) Its a hard charger, big radius, stable ski, with float in the ends for the soft snow. But there are as many possibilities as there are riding styles, endless options to fit the ski to the rider.
Powder days
I would say120 mm minimum under foot, at least a bit of rocker tip and tail. You need to float, but the choice of inverse or a traditional shape? If you ski British Columbia style snow, steep trees, pillows, than an inverse shape ski is super fine, quick turning, massive float, the most playful powder ski you can find. But if you ski in the Alps you always have to deal with the hard windblown snow, slid out couliors, etc. For big lines the high alpine I would stick with a traditional shape, long radius and moderate rocker in the tips and tails. A ski that floats easily, but can run out the frozen debris at high speed and in fine style with full power.

Posting Oath
My Pledge is to post and populate my sites with content. I will stand by this oath, because it is written.
My Friend Lucky
When I was a child I had a friend, Lucky. We would go everywhere together. Lucky is gone now.
Where has Lucky gone, what have I done?
I search for Luck, I think of little else. Have I changed, is this why my friend is gone? Is it too late to go back?
Searching to be Forgotten
Searching for a job is difficult and demanding my self esteem. I have tried many methods, some more successful than others. I know what i want to do and I know where I would be successful. However, I struggle to stand out and I know that this is the reason I am being forgotten.
Being left behind it seems. I know I work hard, I know I am meant for success. I just need to be seen.

Wednesday
Technology has been push upon us like unwanted vegetables.
The pressure is starting to build. The environment is giving us signs that not all is right. Have we gone too far, have we past the event horizon? The tigers are leaving us the ground shakes where it has never shaken before. Are these warnings or are they signs? Sciences cannot move fast enough to inform the public. The artists will know, without solid data they can see far into the future of our world.
Vision belongs to the youth
As we get older we become more complacent to the spectacle of vision. The light which is decoded by the brain becomes bland. Children see the world with fresh eyes, everything is new and every thing is beautiful, but we become jaded. Our minds become bored with out surroundings, with the images we are processing. Thusly we search for ever more interesting sights.
Our search for an interesting visual images takes us to the depths.
