"The end of February in Utah last season marked the longest dry spell in recent history. I threw a hail mary and drove 18 hours north to link with Noah, whom I had never met. Turns out, he’s a homie, it snowed the first day I got there, and we got clips every day. We passed a Panasonic x2000 back and forth for 9 days of filming, and this was the result." - Jake

What better way to decide where to ski while the resorts are congested with holiday traffic? Simple... Throw a dart at a map of your local mountain range and see where it takes you. You may stumble across a hidden gem or just end up in a 7-Eleven parking lot. Ya never know.
This week on Tech Talk we discuss the different types of camber, and what conditions they are best for.
Indulge on the finer details of how a turn radius effects the way your skis ski. This is a tool all manufacturers list as a performance contribution to how one ski will differ from another. One point missed in this presentation is how a turn radius is calculated. Its the distance a ski requires to make a half circle when pressure is applied evenly along one edge. 25M radius = roughly 75 wide turn.
Tech Talk explores the outer limits of ski construction and all that applies to materials and techniques involved. Feeling winter, so are we.

This is the culmination of a multi-day filming session on The Turnagain Pass with skiers Joshua Randich and Wiley Miller. For a week in early February, we bet against all odds to score south facing spines, an aspect most consider off limits come spring. Few crews have ventured to AK to see what the locals are all about until now, and with a bit of luck and determination, our crew bagged what are some of the longest, most exposed, yet easy to access lines one can find just a few steps off the road.
"There are two types of Alaska ski trips you read about in ski magazines. There is the heli trip, where skiers hunker in a fishing village or backcountry lodge for weeks on end, “drinking it blue† waiting for weather windows in which they can safely fly to nearby summits and flash down formidable skiing lines in 15 seconds. And there is the hardcore backcountry camping trip, where adventurers rough it on a remote glacier, digging out tents when it snows and bagging peaks and checking off descents when it’s clear. Both sorts of outings, almost always, come to fruition in the springtime.
This is a different Alaska skiing story, one that takes place in the shadows cast by the North’s long nights, where locals drive old pick-ups to the trailhead, skin and climb for hours to ski film-worthy lines, and return in the dark, speaking hardly a word of what they just accomplished." - Derek Taylor, Freeskier Magazine
