I haven’t been in fixed heel gear in 25 years...

Whoa. End of days. This is truly Revelations type stuff. Dogs and cats laying together, and all that.

Human sacrifice! Mass hysteria!

Mike Tyson had just stepped out from behind whatever it was parked next to me and he smacked my trunk and started yelling at me, he was with his wife at the time, Robin whatever her name was. No idea what he said, but he wasn't happy. It was kinda surreal.

The ear was also kinda weird, no other bits around, no blood, no vultures, nothing. Just an ear in the road.

This is hilarious. What gave it away? Voice? Or did you see the face tat in the rear view?

Knowing your a P-turning tele skier like me, I'd be curious what you thought. And why are you up at 2:30am?!

**~mikey b** · 01-15-2019, 11:19 AM

I’m not feeling great so I went to bed at 6. So I was up at 2. All fucked up.

Alpine gear is ok. I still prefer the ankle and foot flexibility with tele gear, but at BV I’m required to use DIN releasable bindings for snow safety work.

**GiBo** · 01-15-2019, 11:30 AM

That sucks. Hope you feel better soon, man.

Ya, I saw your and Mattly's discussion on FB. Kinda makes sense. But I'm sure it makes the most sene to BV risk management folks.

**~mikey b** · 01-15-2019, 11:40 AM

Yeah I’m fine with it. I personally would accept the risk of using NTN. I’m pretty sure programs that are using it are not seeing an increase in involvement or injury. DIN releasability is no guarantee. But it’s a measured standard, and that matters to risk managers. I take crew safety very seriously. More so than personal safety sometimes.

See you Friday?

That looks sweet. Yes. Friday is the plan.

**~mikey b** · 01-15-2019, 12:17 PM

Copy that. Get here early. Ticket office doesn’t open until 0830 though. Go to the patrol room and talk to the dispatcher I’ll have something for you. Hopefully I’ll get to make some turns with you. You can try my NTN gear if you want. Boots are 29.5
