Greg Hill World Record! Climbed & Skied 2 Million Feet

New Years Goodness at Backcountry Snowcats
If the rest of 2011 is anything like the first two days then buckle up 'cause we're in for a wildly awesome ride. Think big tastey meals, 2 meters of snow consolidated into boot deep hero butter, blue skies, and, well you get the point.

What I Saw First - Episode 1 by John Wells
The POV man is back. John Wells, the man often sighted with a GoPro HD helmet cam mounted to one part of his body or another, has decided to release as pretty cool webisode series this winter. Aptly named 'What I Saw First', Wells takes us a on a ride to see, well, what he saw first.
