Maybe he did retain attachment....this time. On first glance, I just figured he’d twisted his uphill boot out of the toe piece. Maybe he did retain attachment….this time.

And damn, we even skied some awesome powder at Rogers Pass at the end of November. Andrew, good tips and a follow up post can be “Skiing over Timber” :)

Repeat often. Stand up, regain composure, open toe of dynafit on right ski, regain attachment to ski and continue on. Repeat often.
