First, a little background about me. I ski on Volkl Vertigo Motion skis with Marker bindings, and I wear Technica boots. While I lived in Colorado, I was an advanced skier who was just beginning to ski moguls and double black diamond slopes (If it's steep, I was on it). Because of my increase in abilities and the ever continuing aging process, (along with the fact that I now live in the flatlands of Indiana where I don't get a lot of ski days) I wear a helmet while skiing fast. Hey, it beats ending up a statistic! This page contains links to some of my skiing experiences.
