Read every word of that lengthy article. So interesting to hear about these "selfless" rich who see themselves as Messiah types...

I agree with the :hurl:

Niiiiiiice!  That north wind has finally died down.  It'll be a beautiful afternoon when the sun starts warming things up.

Chromapop Everyday Green Mirror?

That's my other pair (other than the CP Storm Rose Flash).  I haven't tried the green mirrors yet - how are they?

Bringing back the discussion of whether trees vs carving out groomers is better bliss, I can certainly admit that the pic you posted looks fantastic.

I read that they're pretty similar...

JD: Chromapop has been a game changer for many sunglass wearers, and it was logical that Smith integrated its newest technology into their full sunlight lens. After dozens of days using Chromapop Sun, I’d say it’s an even more versatile version of the Green Sol-X, which was already my favorite sunny day lens from Smith. Late-day shadows seem to pop more, even though the lens has a markedly lower light transmission than the Green Sol-X.

As an old-fart ski mountaineer, if my skis leave the snow, we call it a "route finding error" and try not to make that mistake again...   ;D
