TR: Some steep skiing in the Green Mountain State

Ullr has been generous this season with the right snow to get our steeper terrain really filled in nicely. We have been able to ski them for over a month now, but this weekend served up the best its been a while. Deep and stable except for some fast running sluff that gave me a short ride. No one around all weekend, could not have been more ideal.

Treewelldweller, High Anxiety, AKOKskis, Sequoishan, and myself set out on a trip to get some of the better ones over the course of 2 days.



The climbing was sporty, arduous, and really fun

Keeping in theme, I put them in roll call. Dont want people getting confused as to which conditions thread they are in.

Not that there is anything wrong with that. Doesnt matter where you ski, you fucking. kill. it. impressively.

Great shots mang!

killer weekend getting after the local chutes and some quality stoke to remember it by. well done.

Nice shots, TC et al, boot pack shots made me sweat!

Hell yeah dudes, way to get it! Steeps have been fun :D

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayum... That looks freakin' amazing! :yourock:



It's like clockwork- if Sequoiashan is in the lineup, you fucked up if you weren't there! Dood knows how to pick his days! :)

Awesome shots. Where is this video I heard of though? Not sure if the first or second shot of Sequoiashan is my favorite. The background in the first is awesome.

Maybe we'll have a you show me yours and I'll show you mine weekend sometime soon :fmicon:

Yeehaw!!

well that looks fucking fun

Fun morning for sure. Perfect snow for that zone. Looking forward to many more of those.

Hell yea!:fmicon:

I had a "Where's Waldo?" moment looking at that second photo. And that's a good thing. :)

Great stuff.

wall surfing FTW.....great work as always TC and crew. If you ever need a 3rd or 4th photographer, IM THERE!

Wow! Nicely done! Looks like an awesome day! Hopefully the snow continues so I can get a day in like that come spring time when my shoulder heals.

A+++++++

otherworldly excellence!:yourock:
