That was one of the most boring edits I've ever watched.

Not at all. I could care less about how a skier dresses.

The edit didn't pique my interest and wasn't as exciting or impressive as other videos coming out nowadays.

Awsome work from mike and Jeff again. Nice to see this level of production being produced for free web content. Really makes me want to get out in the mountains.

I will need to see a fjord with my own eyes before I die.

Yeah this is always what crosses my mind - their production costs must be huge, great they put it out for free

They have a reasonable budget but it's the love they have for skiing that make it what it is. You should see where it's all put together it's no huge studio that's for sure but the stuff they produce is top notch.

Fucking nuts. Wasn't really a fan of Maud's narration but those words definitely needed to be said by someone (or thing). However, if that's all I have to complain about, who cares.

Ah Norge, the land of beauty - mountains and people. Can't wait to go back. Nice work Jeffy. Haela I taket og enna I tapeten!

Ps. they are all on tech bindings. might those be Salomons entrance into the tech game?

I dont think so yet. I believe those were all dynafit. Greg Hill used to a dynafit sponsored athlete till recently. Most people still doing those LOOOONG tours use tech bindings

It may not have been super gnarly, but if you ever ski backcountry you will be able to appreciate this video.

Depends on your opinions. I, for one, found it incredible, beautiful, and exhilarating.

The kids from New York, don't expect much with regard to diversity appreciation.

Well, apparently salomon is getting into the tech game so I wouldn't count it out.

Salomon learned a lot from that time they made touring boots with tech inserts in it that didnt work/breaked/sucked.
With Greg Hill on their team it is safe to say they are working on a tech style binding but they will take plenty of time to develop something good. They did that with the Guardian, but to be honest I am not impressed with that binding. (Only for DIN sole boots, the climbing riser thing sucks, overal usability of the hike/ride switch and riser)
But I wouldnt be surprised if they have some working protos by now.
It will be interesting to see what direction they will go, something like that new Fritschi Diamir? A model to fight Dynafits Beast? Maybe a whole new system?
