It's been so rad to watch his confidence grow in this kind of terrain. He slayed those pillows.Quote:

There may be another episode coming....Quote:

I wondered when a bookend to last season's good fortune would drop.
What an addition to life's top 10
Better than the ending to Free Willy [emoji3555]
Looks like a blast and really cool to be able to share the experience with your dad.
Got three runs and the fog rolled back in and they shut it down. But, we burned Jet A and skied pow. Mostly mellow terrain but did find a sweet pillow transfer.

It took me a few seconds to figure out what was going on in that pic, then it was like holy hell.
DTM - What skis are you on and what did you have last year at Pulseline?
I was on Sender Squads for AK which felt like the perfect weapon for that terrain. For this trip I brought the Squads and Blackops 118s. I ended up on the BO118s all three days since we never got up into bigger alpine terrain.
Today's pillow transfer launch. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8b6fa44a13.jpg
Subbing so I can come watch videos when I’m on my computer

Got to watch this. That was several days prior to our our trip. Swap me in for Mac and that's pretty much what it was like for two days.Quote:

It’ll become your deal when those skinny skis hold him back on bigger terrain. Fat skis were basically invented to allow skiers to rip in AK. Convince your buddy to bring some real AK skis. You want a fatty with some backbone up there. Need to be able to ski fast on the steeps and hold on for dear life in the runouts. Plus expect some variability on the snow, especially in Valdez as it gets wind hammered. Also snow on the face can be great but the runout is often crap snow.
I wont be there but, yeah, he is thinking of using some of their skis if his dont work for him. I think theyll convince him to go wider once he is there. The other guys will probably talk him into it.
Went to Marzano in Nelson last for a celebration dinner. Food was outstanding, best meal I've had in some time. About to get on the road for Spokane to catch my flight and back to real life.

Shit, over so soon? I need three or four more days of this.
Dang dtm
So sick DTM. Thanks for sharing!
"Fat skis were basically invented to allow skiers to rip in AK."
No, "fat skis" where invented in BC Canada.
Please don’t muck up this killer thread with a lame argument.
Fuck yeah DTM, that food looks amazing and a great way to end an amazing trip!!

Man I came for the pillow pics and left jealous of the food. Ha.
Makes me miss the days when we used to go up that way, sleep in the car and ski pillows for a week in the Kootenays. Such a cool/unique part of the ski world.
Wanna sponsor me? :DQuote:

Great mini-TR, thanks
Score
Take a lap man! Well played

Did I mention that I met Ian Macintosh at dinner the first night? Because that happened.
Seems like you took his spot in the heli.
I've been waiting for the video edit..... Well???
I got lucky with a free day at Stellar 7 years ago. We were the only group, 13 runs non-stop in the Purcells. It was unreal.
Can we just fund an annual DTM and Sage trip to various locations and just bask in the vicarious stoke?
I've been working on it. It's a process. Hopefully by the end I weekend.Quote:
