Bloody Couloir Bike & Ski - SierraDescents.com:
nexperienced skiers, experts included, may try to use vigorous upward motion to initiate their turns.
These attempts at ‘hop’ turns break down as the angle exceeds 45°.
An alternative is to ski not up but out, using gravity and the airy void beneath your body to create separation from the hill.

and tagging. RSS/Atom helps keep track of changes to resources.
Small is beautiful.None of which integrate together very well. Which is probably why the bizmodel is to sell out to Yahoo or Google, eventually. More scaleable than last times exit-by-IPO, but still constructed in the same philosophy..
One big diff this time around is API’s, which allow for third party integration. But loose coupling only works is Aunt Tillie can put it all together. In other words, systematic, directed mashup capabilities are not available yet.
