Testing in the Eldo BC
March 5th, 2007 by Doug Schnitzspahn
Isaac, John Devlin and I got out into the Eldora backcountry this weekend to test hardshells for Outside’s Fall Buyer’s Guide. The conditons: sweaty. This snow looks good, but it was actaully pretty heavy technical skiing. Nice soft stuff in the shadows, but anything exposed was tricky (as is evident by the weird, sloppy lines you can see the bowl in the last photo). The key was sitting back on big fast alpine turns. Anyway it was better than working… oh wait, I was working.
