There is also a small group of us who are late teen/early 20's college types.

I have owned much of the things mentioned at one time or another. You should add to to your list.

PM kevglove or "waiting for gauntlet version next year" I think that'll include a few more of us.

Solly DR9/Fritschi Freeride (on order)/loads of tele binders

Dakine Heli pack - nope, Dana HooDoo Spire (awesome AND bought from famous ski photographer :) )

interesting survey, mr. roo... and nice piece at aspect journal about abetone. that egg lift they've got is one of the weirdest i've ever ridden.

age 26, presently live/work in pittsburgh- born here, used to live in boston, studied in munich and florence

nordica beast 92, rossi ex, salomon x-mountain, k2 three
solly, tyrolia, look binders
presently looking for an xxl giro nine mx audio
kevgloves, tnf gauntlet gloves

no beacon

if i want to do any skiing that's within a few hours of where i live, it's not going to be that rewarding. it's almost worth it for me to save the funds towards a trip elsewhere.

It takes a lot of work to become the individuals that we are.

Maybe we could all get matching stickers or something to wear as badges, and finally complete the assimilation
