Why is reviewer and heli-skiing guide Paul Forward in Crested Butte testing skinny skis? How did I end up being the one in a helicopter? And why have Jonathan and I been able to test the same new ski boot? Today we discuss it all, as well as a bunch of new freeride skis from 4FRNT and Heritage Lab; Jonathan swapping skis with Daron Rahlves; me face-planting in front of some other pro skiers, and more.
