What a feat indeed! Props to the ‘Vikings” and Dynafit for making this happen. This kind of sking inspires me and I hope to get into skiing larger peaks and more expedition style skiing down the road. Whether they skied some, most or all of the route means nothing to me…the accomplishment itself is awesome. I can only imagine making turns in that type of setting. Props to you as well Mark for your accomplishment. Truely a rush I am sure.

Prayers go out to Thomas!

PS. This heat in the Tetons is killing me. I’m going on my second trail-run of the week/season today and I might not even ski at all this weekend…Aaauugghh!

I was just kidding too, Mark.

Awfully sorry to hear about Tomas’ fall.

Sky,
Only joking about Swedes versus Norwegians. Maybe we should just ski Liberty Ridge as a team?
