Whistler Ski Trip Pictures

Check out our Whistler Ski Trip Photos on Flickr.  What happens when 10 guys ascend to Canada for the most skiiable acerage in North America (besides getting hit with insane cell roaming charges)?  Spills, thrills, unimpressive jumps, unimpressive swimtrunks, falls the length of a football field that down saplings, and an inappropriate pinata filled with mini booze.

 

 

We had some fun with the "Monoski Adapter" I built with my dad.  This platform snaps into a normal single ski and allows you to ride with both boots fixed onto a single ski.  Took some getting used to, but was very skiiable and drew lots some funny looks from the crowds.

Remote Control Helicopters

I had NO IDEA that electric RC helicopters had evolved this much - cuban 8's, immelmans, aileron rolls - and stuff that has no name. It's insane. I'm fascinated watching these clips. You always hear on the news that another military helicopter has crashed - they are probably the most fatal military vehicle. Imagine what happens when we strap a video camera and some missiles onto one of these. Watch the clip and you'll see how frightening that could be. A Trex 600 will go for $1200. Cheaper 3D-capable model helis look to be about $300.
