Congrats to 27 year old Colorado native Joe Brannan, 6th person to ski all of Colorado’s 14,000 foot peaks! Till now I’ve known the fourteener skiers pretty well by the time they’ve finished their projects. It helped that all were from this area (including Crested Butte).

Consider the new Onyx backcountry skiing binding from G3. Not only do these guys have to take a complex meld of ski machinery from fantasy to reality, but they’ve got things like user manuals to produce, not to mention putting together an effective back country story for their marketing, as well as educating their retailers and sales reps on how to mount, maintain and use the Onyx binding. Oh, and how about minor details such as customer service, spare parts inventory/supply, and having an army of lawyers on tap just-in-case. Must be an interesting life. For now, I think I’ll stick with blogging. To that end, let’s get on with mounting those Onyx.
