For me inspiration comes from a deep faith where reality of a humble yet beautiful existence is simply obvious. This dreamy 4 minute video of epic mountain images brings me to that place of inspiration. I chose my own music for full effect… Chile, Argentina (Timelaps) from Peter Schurte on Vimeo.

Here’s my typical work day point of view. Its critical to be ‘in the field’ as much as possible. Keeping tabs on the mental and physical condition of the athletes can’t always happen over the phone. After a few laps with Dan I’m now happy to say he’s in great shape and his gear is [...]

Apparently in Norway they find it necessary to make ski shop manikins with outrageously blatant nipples.  This young lady in the silver appears to be pretty cold.[IMG]http://media.nscdn.com/uploads/member/journal_entries/1598-extcpy/0norway_nipples_2.jpg[/IMG]

Snus is the Swedish version of chewing tobacco.  Its portioned out in very small quantities in these cute little pouches.  For whatever reason this one snus company, General,  has opted to sponsor our contest and have provided us all with an absurd amount of this product.  We each got 20 tins to start the trip, [...][IMG]http://media.nscdn.com/uploads/member/journal_entries/1603-extcpy/0snus_fridge.jpg[/IMG]
