Skier carves down a mountain in just his ski boots after his bindings break

An amazing video, showing a skier at the Sun Valley ski resort in Idaho, was posted on Facebook recently. Michael Reed, a Sun Valley local, had busted one of his bindings and decided to ‘boot ski’ down a piste, smoothly carving as if he still had planks strapped under his feet.

The incident occurred on Sunday after the toe piece on Reed’s binding ripped out of his ski, while going down the Upper…

Sketch of the Day (June 27th 2016) - spent my day in Glacier National Park, British Columbia, Canada (photos and video to come,) so here’s Larch and Sedge having a great time glissading (layman’s term is ‘boot skiing,’) down a mountain slope, something which I did today to descend a pass faster - it’s really fun! :D (If you’re hiking and you ever have an excuse/reason to glissade, do it!!)

I didn’t get to see any marmots today, but I drew one having a laugh (do marmots laugh?) at Sedge’s expense anyway. :)
