Hope you enjoy this little video from skiing on September 30th, 2008. Although there wasn’t much snow, the skiing was exciting! Keep your eyes out for a nice face plant by one of those involved. I just couldn’t stay away from using more Pearl Jam for the soundtrack either. TetonAT.com Videos from Randosteve on Vimeo.

Well…I don’t know about biggest fan, but Tri Roberts from Kentucky helped me pass my first milestone…and I’m trying to not let it go to my head. He asked for my autograph…and on a TetonAT visor he bought over the winter no less. Thanks for stopping by the shop Tri! And thanks to all those […]
