Sorry, no other pics 'cause taking pics of your own tracks all day long is kinda lame.

nice... Looks like a nice air to punch... I can't tell how deep you took it though. .. Where are your exit tracks? Did you fall down to that traverse out on the bottom?
The dead end track up at the top was from a guy on skinny little x-country skis who got all the way over to the right and decided he didn't want to go any further so went back out the way he came.
What looks like slough at the beginning of the traverse at the bottom is actually tracks from sidestepping back up the slope to retrieve my poles, which were standing up side by side like I'd purposely planted them there. Made it through the little tree band no problem, maybe a 6 foot air at most then straightlined it and had a lot of speed when I hit a buried chunk of avy debris. That was no problem either, went right over it but when my weight came down on the other side I caught an edge in the wet, heavy snow, went over the handlebars and cartwheeled three times in what I'm told was a spectacular manner. You can see the impressions from the cartwheeling from just above the beginning of the traverse to the bottom of the side-step tracks.
I'm guessing the snow would've been super sweet real early in the morning but by the time I hit that it was pretty soggy and gloppy.
Should have sent it off the double to lookers left or gone for the whole enchilada... Either way it's a dope looking cliff even where you hit would've been sweet
