This video is really good and fun and shows the Brooks Range well. I have watched it like ten times already.
The opening is especially appealing to me.
Think I'm going to have to do this next year....

ReplyDeleteOn second look, John was skiing on Scarpa F1 AT boots and dynafit toe pieces.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting!
Awesome video, makes me want to get my skis back out of the closet after packing them away for the 'summer' yesterday.
ReplyDeleteTwo years in a row those two guys have won the race....and they do have very interesting set-ups....set-ups that would be worth finding out more about.
ReplyDeleteI like the wolverine tracks
ReplyDeleteSpectacular Aurora Borealis! But maybe that's just "old hat" to Alaskans.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutly amazing! Watched it 5 times myself :)
ReplyDeleteThat is what I call cross country skiing! Technical question: What kind of bindings did they use? Seemed reasonable downhill control, yet light boots.
