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.

Major congrats... be careful.. next thing you know you'll be asking
about Dynafit vs. Fritschi. And Whippets.

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?

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.

Nah, whippets are dogs. Like greyhounds but smaller. Still probably
not what is being referred to here ;-)

Nah, Whippet's a really overstable driver and a good wind-piercer, but
it takes a lot of arm (more than I have) to really put it to use.

For me, whippets were what we inhaled from the can of whip cream when
all that was left was the whoosh and no cream.

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.
