Yesterday was a good day.
I had a chance to hit one of the best lines in the wasatch.
Its known as the hypodermic needle.
Everything but the approach is appealing.
The top 1200 feet is a 50 degree couloir thats just wide enough to make some hop turns.
Then, it empties out into a massive apron to finish off the run with endless powder turns.
Naturally, I was down.
After all, I love skiing things that are big and steep.
Lots of sick runs over there.
The needle is the prominent chute on the right.
The conditions were as good as they get.^ Looking back to the top after a successful descent.
In the foreground is a crooked old tree that has survived many large avalanches.
Here is a helmet camera clip from the decsent:
