Original post from last week:
Ok, something to get you through the day after hump day. This is a Brian Litz shot of Art Burrows during a three day Gore Range ski traverse in May of this year.
Art dominated telemark racing back during the nascent days of the sport, has done a bunch of design work for Black Diamond and Scarpa, and is still charging like you would not believe. Is he sharing his secret? Did he already take the little blue pill and the rest in his hand are just gravy? Caption it by leaving comments. In terms of humor, please no overt toilet stuff or vulgarity please, and keep any illegal drug references obtuse. If we get a winner, I just might have some swag kicking around here that I can send your way.
