Yeah, right!
I think I see Virgil peeking out of the BCA Backpack!
BTW, see the article on one of Margaret's ski tours in the new issue of "Skiing" magazine (there's also a couple of Scott's photos elsewhere in the same issue). Shortly after this picture was taken, I think that Margaret strapped some "skins" on ol' Virgil, for the trip back UP! And he thought that it was all DOWNhill!! ;>)

Orve:
Neither Margaret Wheeler nor Scott Schell, two of the finest guides, skiers, and mountaineers around, have ever disputed the contribution I have made to their development. Nothing you can say can change that.

Showing them how to sled behind a car hardly qualifies as a significant contribution! Me thinks that there's a profit motive here ... Virgil's trying to tap-into the royalties on Scott & Margaret's new "Backcountry Skiing" book! I've seen Virgil do this sort of thing before!
