This video is making the rounds. It’s likely you’ve already seen it, but if not it’s worth a peek. Of note is the thin margin of error at work here. These guys were playing it safe, making good choices, and were snow savy (the victim of the slide had his Masters in snow science). Still, things didn’t turn out so well.

For a limited time only

I’m a little torn about mentioning this to y’all, but, well, someone had to ski it. It’s been a great January and I’ve yet to see any tracks on this local peak. That changed this morning.

I have to confess I’m a little concerned about the access to this place. There’s a number of No Trespassing signs peppered in the trees leading up to this spot. And though I’m pretty sure we did a good job of staying on public lands and using public right-of-ways to reach what the topo-map indicates is a thoroughly public-owned piece of lovely skiing, I’m going to err on the side of caution and let the pictures speak for themselves.

So, no beta for you!  Those of you who have scoped this line will put it together easy enough. And if you do, please be so kind as to not give away anything in the comments.  The last thing I’d want is for the guy who put those No Trespassing signs up to see his (publically owned) backyard on proud public display. Keep it  stealth, and we might be able to enjoy this a bit longer.

Credit Card Please…

And the lord said, “let there be sick,” and there was sick and behold it was very sick…

Credit Card Bowl

Captain Redbeard and I dropped Credit Card Bowl at about oh-dark-thirty this morning. Wind was howling on the road, but disappeared altogether about 20 meters down. Pow was sick, sunrise was sick and for the most part the good Captain and I were quite well. Yes, quite well indeed…

The Cap’n demponstrated the dangers of falling in a tree well. Fortunately I was there to ease the sting by laughing at him. We agreed on a new saying: he who laughs last, bails early. Funny how that worked out…

Don’t worry. I bought him a bagel for laughing at him. We’re cool.

Yeah, things may look different, but it hasn’t improved any…
