To continue to bring you stoke enhancing trip reports with pictures, I need a camera to replace my defunct Sony Cybershot DSC-P9. I’ve posted on FirstTracks and AlpineZone to get input from skiers, to find out what they’re using. It seems like a lot of people are using Canons. I’ve read through all that great input and posted a summary below.

Ski Boot Fitting by Steiner’s Sports
Zelda and I spent the day in the car traveling in a driving rainstorm to visit Steiner’s Sports. It was well worth the trip. We went to the Valatie store. It’s an unassuming building on the right as you come into town from I90.
We’d made the decision this off-season to move Zelda to alpine gear in the hope that we could spend more time skiing together and share more terrain. I know little about fixed-heel gear, but had always assumed the boots were less than comfortable. I’ve seen countless alpiners, unbuckle their boots at every opportunity. You really never see telefolk doing this and I came to the conclusion that the boots must be less comfortable.
Wind Towers at Barton’s Mines?
From the Glens Falls Post Star: artist rendering of how wind towers would look from Gore.
I’ll be honest: I’m torn. Alternative energy all the way, jobs in America, and a cleaner environment.
But looking at them? Actually they are arguably more elegant than lifts and we’re ok with those.
If I stay in the trees I’ll never see them.
