PM Gear - Skis

Just a really quick entry and a plug for a great company.

I bought a pair of PM Gear Skies back in January they are BRO 174's and all I can say is they kick ass, I have used them from boiler plate conditions to fresh powder and they have been great they are my goto ski.

Almost as good as the ski's is the customer service, I bent a ski due to the abuse I put the ski through 3 days of bumps on one ski with the combined weight of about 200lbs is tough for a ski. Well PM Gear hooked me up with a replacement I was not expecting it but I got it and thats great.

So bottom line you want a great ski buy from these guys you can only get them on line.

Oh they also sponsor some ski skier named Andy, so they are supporting everyone who enjoys a little gravity hucking down the hill.

Skiing Camp Jackson Hole - Grand Targhee

Well this post is one month late but I had to get it done more so to show off the great photos that I got.

So after having my bobsleigh driving course canceled at the last minute and with plans to attend the Grand Targhee all mountain camp, I decided to make my way down to Jackson Hole and try and get into the Adaptive Steep and Deep camp I figured if I did not get in I would at least get some skiing so really a win win.

Happy to say that I was able to get into the camp and it was the best thing I did all year my skiing improved soooo much, I ended up changing the way I ski I learned new drills and techniques that moved me from what I felt was an intermediate level skier to an advanced one "at least thats what I was told".

Since it took so long to get this post in I will just have to sum up the trip and if anyone wants more info let me know, so to sum it up

Jackson Hole Steep and Deep ended up being Steep and Technical due to no deep but this was great for me and allowed me to work on my skills. Thanks to Kurt, Nate, Nick, Ryan, Blair, Elizabeth for helping me out during my days they made the experience amazing and thanks to JH for having this camp and being leaders in adaptive integration, oh and hi to Connie she is one of the owners of JH and chatting with her in the bar was really cool, also see below about Hannah she gets a special post coming up.


Grand Targhee another great camp I was able to rock this camp, well I felt I did with my new skills from JH I was doing steep stuff, lots and lots of bumps and even went into the trees!! I would never have gone into the trees before. Again huge thanks to Joel, Matt, Cindy who tried to take me out, Gil and all the helpers at GT again another great camp.

Bottom line if you are an adaptive skier you need to goto both camps or at least one, you will improve you skills, you will have a great time, you will come back.

OK here are the links to the camps that you must goto, oh and if you are not an adaptive skier great you can still go but go and help out you pay less and get to make a difference in a persons life.

These are the two groups that put on the camps:
