Due to shady internet and a busy schedule in India, I’m a bit behind on updates (we’re back in America now). This is one of our more inspirational days out in the backcountry of Himachel Padresh.

If you’re going to be anywhere north of US Route 2 in Vermont tonight, you NEED to make plans to be at the East Coast Super Shoot Finals hosted by Stowe Mountain Resort. Although none of the Famous Internet Skiers are able to compete this year, two close friends of the FIS, Pete Wadsworth and Lenny Christopher both made the finals, and the stuff they’ve been getting out on the hill has been incredible. Here’s me (Greg) making a turn for the lens of Pete.

The event gets underway at 5pm at the Stowe Mountain Lodge Ballroom. I’m told there are free appetizers, and the bar will be open. Come see all the excitement of east coast shredding on display!

If you come, look for the goofy tall dude in the Orange Hat… that would be me :D

The Western Bureau of FIS jumped into the weekend with a round of extreme skiing, and spectating.

The Super Final of the Free Skiing Word Tour was in town, and we were firmly lodged in the snow bank to take account of the antics.  The event can be summed up rather succinctly – rays of sun, coolies of beer, and hucks to hardpack.  All age old traditions.  Things you can’t even begin to point a finger at.
