It has been 1 year since the release of the Levitation Projects 1st movie: The Fall of ’07. I wish I could have embedded it for you but its super easy to get to: click the link below, and then click “Films”on the top bar. Halloween is the perfect time to watch Zombies & Crazy Riding!

With the first ski movie of the year comes the annual event known as the “Powder Jonesing Syndrome” or PJS. This is not a difficult malady to cure, but it can take a while, depending on the weather. I’ve been able to stay preoccupied to a certain extent this fall, but just the thought of the Warren Miller show tonight has got me in a cold sweat this morning. Yup, the PJS has got a hold me good today. Not sure how it will pan out…but I figured I would embrace it for the time being. Above is a photo taken by Adam Clark up at Mica Heli Ski last year.
This is the Salomon Lord, and it is aserious mid fat, all mountain slayer. These days alot of ski companies are trying to cut cost by cutting corners. Not Salomon, they gaveall their freeride skis afull wood core. What that means to you and me, is that we get skis that are incredibly stable, durable, and have a great feel underfoot. The other things I like about this skis are: its turned up tail makes it super versatile. You can get in and out of places easily, and ski switch back to the lift. Lets see what else…can’t forget that the Lord has a slightly rockered tip. Its not enough to make the ski reverse cambered, but it gives it just enough for the tip to float in powder and crud, rounding out its all mountain performance.This is the new breed of all mountain skis.

It’s that time of year again. That’s right, time for the annual screening of Warren Millers lastest film. I’m so psyched to see this years movie: <em><strong>Children of Winter</strong></em>. Of course I’m always excited to watch skiing but this year’s movie features our good buddy Billy Poole. Billy lost his life while skiing last winter. He was one of the most inspirational people I ever met, and I’m lucky to have shared some epic days with ol’ Pooleboy. I’m certain that his segment is going the Rock!

So I’m just gonna do the quick review here. These are some of the most versatile skis ever made. Some of the things I love about them are:
