In the article about Colorado based companies, you imply that Liberty Skis are made in CO. They are not, they are made in China. I have a lot of respect for companies making goods locally, it important that the media research the material they write and not harm local companies by confusing consumers who want to make purchasing decisions based on how/where a product is manufactured.
What peak do you dream of climbing? (page 4 current edition). All answers are interesting, but the one provided by Jayme Otto went up my nose real quick. “It changes every day. Today, it’s 14,000 foot Anjuman Pass in Afghanistan with Mountain2Mountain founder Shannon Galpin on our singlespeed Niners.”
I can understand the desire for doing something different riding in a war zone does sound quite exciting, and will surely impress people at the trailhead.
What ticks me off is the last part “on our singlespeed Niners”. What, any mountain bike won’t do? It has to be a hipster’s singlespeed with 29 inch wheels? What a snob.
Hey Henry,
The work Shannon Galpin and her nonprofit, Mountain to Mountain, is doing in Afghanistan is ground-breaking. And the bicycle manufacturing company “Niners” has provided quite a bit of support for her organization. Galpin and Niners both make a contribution to the world in a way I can only dream about. If that makes me a hipster and a snob, so be it. Thanks for reading.
Jayme
