Alta Utah's Farmer Dave

Sports – Have you ever heard the term 'expression through movement'? When I see Farmer's Dave Van Dame's ski tracks in the Utah backcountry that's what I think of. Dave is an Alta skier and legend because of his skiing style. Author Bill Deleo shares his account of one-to-one time spent with Van Dame. A must read for any skier.

This is a pretty cool article but I wish there were more photographs on it. They make for for some neat pictures.

I wish there were more photos, too. However we (GravityFed) felt pretty lucky to get the ones we have. Fittingly, the two photos in the article are from author and subject :) This piece by William Deleo was first published 'back in the day' from our employee housing unit at Goldminer's Daughter in Alta, circa 2000. -Gary M

BTW, off topic. Hats off to Netscape with this user interface. I really like it compared to other social media sites.
