Hey Grady! Where in Colorado? I'm on Pikes Peak (Green Mountain Falls, to be exact). Feel free to email me direct if you want to ride sometime. lamontglen at mac dot com.
If I'm a good enough lad (my wife just hinted I was, so there's hope), then these will arrive over Christmastide. The amazing thing is from the one pair, everyone in the family can try them via the universal binding. My plan is to make a long pole (they say about a foot taller than you, lodge pole pine, though I may try an already seasoned aspen). Having used ski poles, I'm betting one long pole is actually more stable, so will help me brain (I have constant neurological vertigo). The videos help show how the single pole works. Aye to the ploddingtonness of snowshoes, a wee-bit-a-glide would be a wonderful thing.
