Thank you for your inspiring blog. ...Hello Andreas. Thank you for your inspiring blog. Your picture "looks inviting" looks inviting for me also because of the skis you're using. I'm using salomon freeride skis for more than a decade, and I think the present rocker2-family does not match the performance and versatility of the original POCKET ROCKET back then in the years 2003-2006. Is there some further development going on at salomon we can look forward to? Wish you a good winter season!

Fortunately your words put a completely different perspective on what you did and bring it down to earth. Well written and honest. It's important to question our intentions when we do things, whether in the extreme situations you describe or in our otherwise mundane lives. I respect those that have chosen to follow their dreams for their own glory and satisfaction, not that of others.

You cut ri...Thank you for the honesty in this post. You cut right through all the sponsored-athlete-radness that seems to permeate the sport of skiing right now. I especially appreciate this line: "If we are thinking of these things, then there is a risk that we are playing this game for others and not for ourselves. Is it worth risking your life to make others think you are cool, a great skier, have courage, are a great alpinist or something else?"<br />The enduring quality of the skiers I most admire (whether world famous or local ski bums) is the love of their sport. To see someone play in a world that she or he loves, to do so with style and grace, and to also be open and gracious as to let it truly hit her or his heart makes my skin tingle. Your love of skiing brings out my own.
