Most Likely the Only Time We’ll Post Nude Pictures
Last Wednesday Spyder hosted a party for the media to unveil the new Slippery race suit that is being worn by all American and Canadian Alpine Racers during the Olympics. The suit was on display and journalists stopped by to ask questions about the suit and enjoy some of the entertainment that Spyder had arranged for the evening.

Calling All Climbers!
Backbone Media and the American Alpine Club want to know which types of activities would encourage more climbers to join the AAC. Backbone is a long-time supporter of the AAC, and we are encouraging climbers to participate in the survey: CLICK HERE.
If you’re a climber, this is your chance to help shape the club’s direction for the next five years, and have a say on which activities should be funded in the future by membership dues. It will be very valuable to us in planning the future direction of the AAC.
Thank you!
