That is such a beautiful graphic dedicated to him! Made my day first thing this morning!
Cross-country AND down-hill skiing in the backcountry.
Unashamed to be a "cross-country type" and love skiing down-hill.

XCD is not dead. The vector bc, switchback binding and two-buckle plastic boots ensured that it would survive.
