    I have no idea who invented the smear turn, just figured somebody here would know.

    From some book sales website.....
    Michael Finkel has spent more than a decade journeying across six continents in a quest to unearth the wonders and eccentricities of the world's snowy regions. These are his remarkable discoveries. In this collection of seventeen mesmerizing, often uproarious tales, Finkel ventures from the underside of an avalanche to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro - capturing the joys, the mishaps, and the magic of each trip with rare skill. From partnering with a gang of Kazak herdsmen in China to flying off an Olympic ski jump in Lake Placid, he tackles the dangerous and the bizarre with equal enthusiasm. And whether he is leaping out of a helicopter to make a first ever descent on a remote Alaskan peak or challenging the wretched conditions on the world's highest ski run at 17,130 feet in Brazil, Finkel captures the power and excitement of testing the limits of exploration. But Alpine Circus is more than a simple retelling of extreme exploits. Finkel also vividly describes what it is like to be alone beneath the Northern Lights and how it feels to be an Olympic torch-carrier; throughout he searches for more than thrills, revealing the parade of strange and dynamic people and places that he encounters along the journey. Part seat-of-the-pants adventure, part cultural investigation, and peppered throughout with humor and insight, Alpine Circus is a stirring and brilliant trip from one of the brightest new voices exploring the far reaches of the planet. (6 X 9 1/4, 228 pages)
    I realize that says ski run, but I think I remember him talking about the homegrown lift with the death defying hook up system that took you to the top of the run. Might be wrong, but I think I'm right.......
    Fresh Tracks are the ultimate graffitti.

    "I think people resist freedom because they're afraid of the unknown. But it's ironic....That unknown was once very well known. It's where our souls belong....The only solution is to confront them--confront yourself--with the greatest fear imaginable. Expose yourself to your deepest fear. After that, fear has no power, and fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free." -Jim Morrison

    Don't know who invented the skis, but I believe Bill Koch invented the technique in the early 80s (or maybe late 70s).

    Snow Job, a jewel heist thriller, was Jean Claude Killy co-starring with the scrumtious Camilla Parv. In the movie, Killy jumps off the top of a tram car, and skis away with the diamonds backwards on 212 cm Dynamic VR17s through avalanche debris. Killy was THE MAN.

    There is no mountain anywhere near 17,000 feet in Brazil, but I believe the highest lift is in Bolivia.

    I boiled my thermometer, and sure enough, this spot, which purported to be two thousand feet higher than the locality of the hotel, turned out to be nine thousand feet LOWER. Thus the fact was clearly demonstrated that, ABOVE A CERTAIN POINT, THE HIGHER A POINT SEEMS TO BE, THE LOWER IT ACTUALLY IS. Our ascent itself was a great achievement, but this contribution to science was an inconceivably greater matter.
