Luke and I did a couple of laps on Axtel’s half bowl, mostly to ski a pillowy feature Luke calls the Fortress. The Fortress is the obvious outcrop on the ridgeline.

I went out on my first tour with Marker Duke bindings. After a couple more tours, I’ll be sure to give a review of these bindings. We didn’t get too many great shots, as it tends to be hard to shoot much in the dark forest in pillows on a gray day. Here’s what we did get, though…

Luke in another lower zone:

Luke gets a little redemption down lower.

It was a pretty fun day out there, just playing around on pillows, and soft, fluffy ones at that. ‘Til next time…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
