I had been skiing a bunch of skis this spring and, for reasons I’ll get to, was basically ready to give up on writing ski reviews forever when Barry and Jason told me that two dudes hucked a crevasse on the Upper Nisqually protecting the Fuhrer Finger on Mount Rainier. I immediately broke into a cold sweat. Could I do that? By their description, it sounded like a full-on Yoda situation—there is no try, only do.
Even typing this I’m all Marshall Mathers over it. My palms are sweaty, Vomit on my sweater already, Mom’s spaghetti.
For me, the answer is no. I should not huck anything where failure isn’t an option.
The thing about the skis I was testing is that they were all really good, and although I was having a lot of fun in the process, I started to think, just pick a pair and go skiing. Then thisthing about hucking the crevasse. Interestingly, I doubled down on my ski testing for reasons I am not proud of and will address in my conclusion.
