Case in point: Alpinist Magazine, that wonderful large format pub that tastes and smells of the high alpine, was bought last winter by the same folks who publish Backcountry Magaine. More, they acquired former and famed Climbing Magazine publisher Michael Kennedy as Editor in Chief, meaning my old friend and climbing partner “MK” is charge of making sure the pages look and read as good as we’d expect from such a magazine.

It’s not skiing, it’s snirting. The new sport. Just have a place to dunk your skis afterward, and get ready to load up the washing machine once you’re home. But a day in the mountains, no matter how close to a laundry soap commercial it comes, is still a day in the mountains. So yesterday myself, Nick Thompson and Dave Downing ended skiing what I call the Teeny Couloir (left) on West Pearl Mountain. But not before a small detour as well as a pastry alert. Check it out.

Congratulations to Deanna and Mark on their new baby Sean. Word is that Mark already has a pair of Dynafits hung over the crib, and the nursery decorated with a Swiss mountain hut interior theme. Word is he even shopped for Salewa pj’s, but had to settle for cutting down a Dynafit knit cap.
