I’m here to testify. She is in the Alps, “testing” gear and receiving requisite rest which to an American feels unusual — but when in EU, do as the Euers (is that a word?) do.
I'm a firm believer in doing what the locals do. In this case, plenty of fill flash and imitating Lou's style of hydration.
Ultimate in lounging cred. The cheapo plastic chair with the deluxe sheepskin cover. Show me this in Aspen, and I'll show you a PETA activist with a spray can.

Awesome seat covers ! Look forward to hearing about the honeymooner’s travels.
Hope you both enjoy your trip together! Lou, by the way, I just returned from a great trip skiing in Chamonix and completing the Haute Route. I had a small world experience when I ran into Maria, from the marketing division of Dynafit, at the Dix Hut. She set up a press day that you were a part of this winter I believe and she sends her regards. She was with a group of friends, going long and hard, climbing peaks and covering as much ground as possible on light weight rando gear. Their energy and enthusiasm was infectious. Lots to appreciate about the ski touring culture in the Alps!
Lou,
I recently picked up a pair of Speed Radical bindings to be mounted on my summer short skies. I don’t really need the flip-up heel risers and would like to remove the top plates and swap them with a pair of Comforts. From the outside, the hole pattern of the same. I seem to remember someone asking this question on Wildsnow, but for the life of me, I can’t find it. Any idea if they could be swapped?
Thanks!
Plinko, we will check and get back to you.
Dynafit reminds me of Black Diamond, you walk in there and you’re surrounded by people with sub 30 bpm heart rates and the BMI of the olympic swim team. I’m glad Maria remembered me, as I was not part of the above group. Lou
Using sheepskin is fine as long as you eat the meat!
