Holy fuck, you are one lucky SOB. Inches from the meat grinder.
Thanks for posting it up and glad that you're OK.

wow. again. the hits just keep coming up there. where exactly is this? doesn't look like a familiar line to me.
I just SHIT my pants....
Damn. Good work auguring in.
Today's lesson in terrain management...Don't hesitate when you need to be making moves.
Today was really nice, when we left at 11:30 it was snowing pretty hard. Bluebird all morning but the weather was definitely clamping down.
Strummer,
You skiing tomorrow? I could use some laughs.
I would like to, because I think it will be the awesome. Today was soft and pleasant but firm underneath, like a softball-sized unenhanced breast.
Tomorrow is one of 3 days a year I CAN'T ski. It's my son's 5th birthday and my wife would nuke me from orbit and behead the remains if I'm not around. So, in the morning I will be getting kicked in the nuts by a bunch of midgets.
Then I have to go to the birthday party afterwards.
My advice:
1. Go to Kinkos
2. Get lifesized photographic cut out of yourself
3. Place cut out in lieu of you for tomorrow's activities
4. Ski

Also, PoopGhost says I never share the photos I take when we are skiing. So here's one of him from yesterday. .

Strummer is being modest, he got some great shots of me.... once I went past him.
From Today, yea, it was ok. Killclimbz enters the white room

Anyone heading up for dawn patrol tomorrow? I have to head home early but I'd like to get a few good laps in.
edit: Going to bed but now. But say hello if you see me tomorrow. Dark grey xterra, red jacket, Lhasas.
Was solo so no action shots but you get the idea.

Was bummed to see the apres concluded by the time I got back to the pass CG.
jeezus thats fucking terrifying. glad your OK.
didn't mean to sound like an asshole in my earlier post, I was simply stating that I tend to view avy stuff from a terrain point of view, and due to my personal level of risk acceptance I probably wouldn't have skied that line right now.
and I've also made mistakes in places that I thought were ok and have definetly learned form them....
Wow CG, looks like you and Killclimbz had a good day. Beats the shit out of what I was doing.
FYI-there's a really good discussion going on in the slide zone RE: 2nd creek slide, i think everyone who just said way to go man and it's ok you guys triggered a massive deadly slide, learn from it (and people say I'm the hippie) could benefit from taking a look at it
CG definitely liked it.
