hey all,
couple new blogs for ya,
Like to see new people checking the site out.
Did a couple cursory beacon checks through the run, happily with no hits.
Tuesday was much better stability as much of what could rip in EV Monday did.
Able to get out to Old Man’s first and fresh.
Gets the heart going, and you definitely want to stick the cornice entry in front of your friends.
DPS, Big John and I all managed to hit it.
I went first, cut it to the right and skied the sparse trees.
Able to watch those two tee up the middle.
With nothing running from my cut, they took it.
We staged before the lower bonus aspens for a safety meeting.
Our bus ride was packed, and we knew getting out early was the call.
Oh the Gore, land of endless lines and lessons.
“I work in a shop” he says.
Stay calm and move along.
Caught up with my crew at the flats and offered apologies to my partners.
Nothing more frustrating than failing skins.
After three turns on the tree spine wall, the answer was an emphatic no.
Big J yelled and I knew that the beast was at my heels.
I hit the throttle, skiing towards Dave position.
Lessonr learned, If loaded lower tree faces have slid once, probably will again.
Don’t get greedy like I did, stay in the trees.
Small radios are a good idea in complicated terrain.
Big J rolled through cautiously to round out the group.
We made our way out, scoping smaller tree chutes along the was.
Again the Gore was chock full o lessons, good snow and dicey moments.
Another great two days off, more pow, more lessons and painful comedy.
