first double black!
Whee! I did my first double black ever yesterday. Main Street at
A-Basin. I'm told that, as double blacks go, it's not that high on the "pucker factor" -- but that's okay. It was a good confidence builder, and it was a lot more fun than I thought it'd be. -- monique |

And Whippets. -klaus |

That's a self-fulfilling prophecy, as I have no idea what you're talking about. So now I have to ask: what are Dynafit, Fritschi, and Whippets? -- monique |

So now I have to ask: what are Dynafit, Fritschi, and Whippets? I only know Dynafit in a ski context. It's a custom liner. I have some and I swear by them. Once your stock liners pack out and you boots don't fit like they used to you should get some too. IIRC Whippets where the Nitrous cartridges we'd fill balloons with and inhale for a buzz in my younger days. Chances are, that's not what's being referred to here. Matt |

For me, whippets were what we inhaled from the can of whip cream when
all that was left was the whoosh and no cream. MattB wrote: Monique Y. Herman wrote: On 2004-02-10, klaus penned: Monique Y. Herman wrote: Whee! I did my first double black ever yesterday.

So now I have to ask: what are Dynafit, Fritschi, and Whippets? Ah. Before we go too far astray - Dynafit and Fritschi are Randonee AKA Alpine Touring binding systems - good skiers who start to venture out into the wild snow often make the next step to climbing for better turns. See http://telemarkski.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/at_bindings.html for pictures and descriptions of Dynafit and Fritschi bindings. (Difference boils down to weight.) Whippets are speciality "ice ax" pole handles for stopping your slide before you go over that cliff in the backcountry. It's a complement. |
