Those glasses have seen some wear. Savage Peak is an interesting looking one that I do want to come back and ski....I went up there with my friend Justin and we finally found the entrance to the couloir around 1pm on a warm spring day...we decided to bag it as it was getting direct sun and the exit from the bottom of the couloir was a bit sketchy. So we packed it up and had to endure the awful bushwack ski down to the vehicle.

(Just kidding Bob. Actually, Perl is the man that refuses to age so its a compliment). But the Vuarnets are coming back; they have a new model called The Legend and it is what makes me look as goofy as ever these days. M What are you kidding; Perl still looks that goofy.
