Thought all you blog readers might enjoy a blast from the past. Poster seen at Life-Link in Jackson. Ten years ago, Doug Coombs, one-piece suit, dayglow. Amazing how things change in 10 years. Nice Life-Link poles and pack. If Doug skied this well on those skinny K2 Extreme planks, he must really rip on today’s gear. I’ve heard he does. Would love to get my hands on a signed poster like this… (edited by Lou, 04-03-06, RIP Doug).
