Atomic MX09 ski review for backcountry skiing and ski mountaineering

2006 24 hours of Sunlight report, final report, stats and results

My new Canon A620 is a bit tougher to use than the Rebel for action shots, but does just as good a job with landscapes and portraits. It’s even got some features that my model of Rebel lacks, such as flash exposure

Through the lens of history “Death Zone” was not at all depressing, but rather a supremely interesting view into the past. More, it was exciting to see that the climbing done by this team was an advanced form of Himalayan alpinism that involved tackling a monster wall, without a larger expedition

While I’m sure the dated nature of “Death Zone” movie will be good for some laughs, my recollection is that it was a somewhat ground breaking film.

One year of backcountry skiing blogging and creative writing.
