Insane lines ensue. I was checking out the skiers and they are going on ungodly steep lines. The nice thing about this sidecountry action is that seems totally doable. Like the guy said, it's a 20 minute hike from the top of the chair lift. That's considerably less investment than a heli-skiing adventure. Food for thought, not that I'm letting go of my dream to go heli-skiing.

Today, the skiers are much more impressive technically, but the fun seems to be absent, which is inevitable when you're fighting for a thousandth of a second.

En attendant de pouvoir assouvir mes désirs, j'écoute des vidéos qui me présentent de belles images de lieux que je rajoute sur ma liste de places à visiter au cours de ma vie. Et j'ai d'ailleurs un vidéo à vous proposer. C'est un documentaire sur un photographe qui documente l'escalade pour un reportage de National Geographic. Bon, c'est presque une mise en abîme tout ça, mais ça a le mérite de faire des maudites belles prises de vue, et on ne s'attendait pas à moins du prestigieux NG.

Un à tout le moins qui m'a apporté son lot de frustrations, la température m'empêchant de pratiquer mes sports favoris. Heureusement, ce vidéo m'a aidé à me sortir de cette torpeur, tout en m'insufflant un brin de vivacité. Bien que je conçois parfaitement tous les efforts que les deux cyclistes ont du déployer pour monter et descendre ces montagnes, ça semble si facile et naturel pour eux. Empreint d'harmonie et d'une certaine insouciance, ce vidéo est également porteur d'espoir, à sa façon. Certes, la musique y est pour quelque chose. C'est drôle, car j'ai déjà entendu la deuxième pièce de musique, de Loch Lomond, dans un autre vidéo de vélo justement. J'aimerais bien vous dire lequel, mais j'ai malheureusement oublié.

I did enjoy the Polar Explorers version. It reminded me of the arduous challenges they face. One day freezing is one thing, but what about every day, all day cold. Go to bed in the cold, wake up in the cold. Cold, cold, cold. I also appreciated them complaining. I'm used to seeing the epic side of things, it's nice to see the more quotidian aspects too.</p><p>Thank you Sierra Designs for sharing this.</p><p>-Juan</p><p>---</p><p>More articles you might like:</p><p><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/vertical-sailing-patagonia-black-diamond/">Vertical Sailing</a></p><p><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/super-deep-snow/">Super Deep Powder</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://altitude-blog.com/shit-polar-explorers-say/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Icebreaker Ski Flying</title><link>http://altitude-blog.com/icebreaker-ski-flying/</link> <comments>http://altitude-blog.com/icebreaker-ski-flying/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 26 Jan 2012 21:59:53 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Juan Altitude</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[What’s New?]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Icebreaker]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Merino]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Video]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://altitude-blog.com/?p=18121</guid> <description><![CDATA[Kind of makes you want to go skiiing and BASE jumping! ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/35220953?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;color=c9ff23" frameborder="0" width="592" height="444"></iframe><span id="more-18121"></span></p><p>Woo! These flying-person videos always get me going. Well, I must say that it was first the backcountry skiing that revved me up. I've really got to get my backcountry on. What better way to have fun while getting fit as a fiddle? But I've got to get real comfortable with that before I try the second part. Wow, that would really be conquering my limits. I've jumped out of a plane and it was incredible. Although I must admit the moments before were terrifying. I figure the BASE jumping would be more of a rush since you're closer to the ground, for more effect.</p><p>Anyways, good on Icebreaker and its premium wool for sponsoring this.</p><p>What did you think of the video?</p><p>-Juan Altitude</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://altitude-blog.com/icebreaker-ski-flying/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>When&#8217;s the Last Time You Asked Yourself Why?</title><link>http://altitude-blog.com/outdoor-video-why/</link> <comments>http://altitude-blog.com/outdoor-video-why/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 23 Jan 2012 21:44:16 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Juan Altitude</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Events]]></category> <category><![CDATA[gear]]></category> <category><![CDATA[outdoor]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Video]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://altitude-blog.com/?p=17997</guid> <description><![CDATA[Why?

I liked the reflections in it. Taking the time to think about why we do things. I often find that what's important is not to find the goodreason that you do something, the one true reason, but rather just to take the time to reflect on why you do things. Perhaps find out a new reason, something new about yourself.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://altitude-blog.com/outdoor-video-why/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
