Yo, Jake, sounds like things are good, mang!
Helluva shot outskiing that little sluff you triggered.

I'll take another punch bag there Jed, thanks!

Valdez turned out pretty darned good. Blasted out almost 60k vert during a one day orgy of jet fueled powder skiing unlike anything I have ever experienced.

Trisomy 18 sucks.
Healing vibes to you and Vessie, Jake. My thoughts are with you - you have a great gal there buddy, and you're a hell of a guy. Your goodness will get you both through this. Take care man.
Thanks Gary, were getting through it.
There is a cave nearby. When you go into this cave you go back and it curves and on the left is a map of the universe all lined out in the quartz crystals in the rock. And behind the mural is a woman positioned facing to the right. You go back past her and there is a spring coming up that you drink from and when you do it aligns your frequency with that of the universe, the cave.
And you go back to the map and the woman behind it is now facing to the left and a portal opens up and you go into it and there is the Old Man, the man from Orion. And he shows you the prism and he aligns it and the beam of light shines out of the mountain and points right to the middle star in Orion's belt.
And outside, white wolves with black eyes and black wolves with white eyes circle the entrance to the cave. I have never been there but I know someone who knows someone who has.
http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._3820997_n.jpg
I feel like anything I say will not be enough to convey my feelings for you on this one. Sending you all the positive vibes I can.
Oh man Jake I'm so sorry. Not that there's much I could do but if there's something you need or need help give me a shout.

I've got my bike pass all worked out looks like you are doing the hard part. I can't wait, rode the lower couple miles of Pioneer last weekend and the weekend before just up to the first picnic table. Slick mud above that. The Anchorage trails are prime low vegetation status and dry. Bird poach in the near future.

Thom set this shot up with a 4 minute self timer. Pretty good timing if you ask me and the berm does not look so bad either.
We have been running two machines full time trying to link up two corridors for our opening on June 23. Bermuda to Race Trail will be real sweet. On the other side of the gorge we finally pushed the mini excavator up the steepest pitches leaving an 8 foot wide 'enduro BMX' trail in the wake.
I can't really put really believe how awesome these trails are gonna be...

Hey Boat Floaters! We had a nice adventure floating down 20 Mile River here in Alaska last week...
Started the day at 9am by driving south down the highway about 10 miles for the truck drop. Notice the exceptionally high tide:
http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...38982322_n.jpg
Met up with Dearnly and Thom and split up the beer rations accordingly
http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...51618883_n.jpg
Left the house at 10:30 on foot. Cracked first beer as seen here at noon
http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...92087786_n.jpg
We had to walk for about 6 hours to the put in at the westernmost headwaters of 20 Mile. Cool waterfall.
http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...74531217_n.jpg
Looking back to the backside of Alyeska Mountain. We started on the frontside and and came up the long valley
http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...52170821_n.jpg
Finally reached Blueberry Pass
http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...30786266_n.jpg
Thom says "that way". He has done this trip a few times and it is a first for Dearnly and I
http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...05212317_n.jpg
Gotta get to the river!
http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...28479705_n.jpg
Here we are, need more water. I feel like we are being watched. Deep in griz country
http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...59002147_n.jpg
Had to get across this little side channel to main current. Dearnly's feet were already wet so he went for the wade. Thom and I had rubber boots on so we decide to juke upstream into the the alder thicket to navigate across the alder strainers and keep dry feet. About 150 in, as we struggled for a clean line, Thom say's "Did you hear that?!" I say "No" then a second later I hear distinct WUUFFF! over the rushing river noise from very close proximity. Could be nothing other then giant brown bear, at least based on deep gut reaction the sound had on me.
http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...04210748_n.jpg
We said fuck it and darted back to where Dearnly had crossed as he called to use.
I got across the stream and on to the open sand bar and looked back upstream to where a large mama bear and THREE large juveniles were ambling out way.
So much for another beer as we very quickly filled our rafts up with air and nervously watched the family move our direction
http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...39357014_n.jpg
Fuck you bears! we are out of here 4:20 on the dot
http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...37170367_n.jpg
100 yards later a walk around
http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...15111784_n.jpg
We've had some major precip events with like 6-8 inches of rain in 48 hours in the last week. The river was low again but it was like the main channels had been blown out and we had a fair amount of shallows to deal with.
http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...11422815_n.jpg
http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...67718936_n.jpg
Is it just me or are we in the middle of nowhere and it is getting dark?
http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...51774762_n.jpg
Why yes, it is getting dark. And no, no one has a headlamp

http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...41283444_n.jpg
Remember that high tide way back 12 hours earlier? Well, we were hoping to have navigated the upper river faster then we did and hit the highway before the tide affected the current 2MILES upstream from ocean. It actually kind of fucking sucked.
The air temp was hovering around 40 and and if you stopped you got cold and the tide was so high that it over flowed the banks into the alders anyway. No beaches, no light, no reprieve from incoming current except by staying right next to shore an using tiny strip of dead water. By this time the the river is about 50 feet deep and a couple hundred yards wide, littered with huge logs going this way and that. The last faint sliver of silver finally faded to pitch black as we JUST KEPT PADDLING. I would stop on occasion and listen for Dearnly bringing up the rear. We were in no way able to respond to a capsize if we even knew it happened. I could here the highway in the distance so we knew were were close, but what is close if you are moving forward 1/4 mile and hour while paddling as hard as you could for the last 3 hours?
Anyway, we eventually saw the parking lot light and felt a burst of energy but it still took another half hour to the truck. At the pull out both Thom and I could not even get up out of our boats and I literally crawled up the bank and scared the shit out of a trucker having a smoke break.
Is it ski season yet?
Oh look, another ski season begins! How many are we looking at now, 15-16? I figure I'll just keep archiving TRs in this thread because it turns out to be kind of handy for cross referencing things later. Enjoy!
Got out on the ol skis yesterday. Might as well get the season going on the right foot

http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...54579198_n.jpg
Up the ridge now. Encountered nasty winds and flailed around on the frozen scree in alpine boots, but survived

Dropping off south side of peak into steep, peppery gnar, sprinkled with wind slab. Hope that helmet has chin straps!
http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...36159855_n.jpg
We jumped through the gap between the con ices onto the spine thingy. I skied the lookers right chute and you can see Joshua coming out the bottom of the one on the left. Flat as flat light could be but solid knee deep!
http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...76401325_n.jpg
We waited at the bottom for the other guys to go but got cold so decided to skin up the adjacent ridge line. Looking back to our lines. None of them dropped in and they retreated back down the scree ridge! Come on now, it wasn't too bad!
http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...95438982_n.jpg
Warming the dog's tootsies before dropping into next chute. Windy and dark at 1:20pm

Skied this, it was pretty sweet. Better light along rocky edge of chute.

Top o the season Carp! Hope you and yours a having a great winter so far, Shames is doing good, the lifts are turning and the snow is sweet. Say hi to Vessie for me. All the best man!
What the hell is going on out there?!
Lots of cold with rain mixed in there. Lots of snow up high, not much down low. If it doesn't get too windy I'm thinking about that couloir this weekend.
You hit that coolie? I have actually forgotten winter. Kinda weird.
Not yet, went to Hatcher and watched all the snow blowing around yesterday.
This has been a good winter to miss thus far. There's been good skiing but I found a job on Kona captaining a dive boat. I'm trying to convince my wife to make a temporary move.
Sweet, I've seen several captain jobs out of lahaina, need open sea endorsement...
My masters license is near coastal but that should work for just about anything that isn't crossing over to California. It's just kind of a funny idea at this point but my 3 year old said she wanted to live in Hawaii so I looked.
Yeah, my almost 4 year old and wife don't want to go back at all. Can't blame em. Hanging in the Java Haus all day hiding from the rain or frolicking on the beach all day...
In alaska you are ON the ocean, here you are IN the ocean.
I'm living vicariously through your pics on Facebook.
Hey Carp not much snow this year but its still OK, life is good in Smithers same as it ever was and of course the Telkwa ski club is always entertainingQuote:

I have been thinking about Smithers the last few days. Our renter there is batshit crazy. He goes to drill for 3 weeks on/one off and people keep breaking into the house. He wants us to pay to get plywood screwed over doors and windows…. not sure if my responsibility.
Sounds like you guys been having good season. We will return someday.
