Not that gif again!
I took 850 pictures and have sorted through about a third of them. Hope to get 75 keepers
It's kind of like that holiday fruitcake that keeps on giving.Quote:

His ex-wife was not amused.
A few phone randoms...

Keep on dancing.
Finally home. Physically and emotionally drained. That was a helluva a trip. Photos of the Urner and time in Sedrun to come. We got great an incredibly lucky weather window and stability. Skied good snow every day but one.
Only real kick in the nuts was losing the nut that holds the toe pin in location on the Vipecs sometime early on the final day when I still had 1000M+ to climb and 1700m of descending. Made it work, but it meant side slipping what was one of the best pitches of the trip -- 400m at 40ish degrees in pow above an icefall. (Hence the side slip.)
One shot from the photographer who was along of us banging out a mellow pitch.

The mothership out there. Unreal.
So didn’t get a photo but anyone notice how the shitter on the train didn’t go to a holding tank? It was just a hole right to the tracks. Lol.
I noticed... but it depended on the train.Quote:

Just don't hit the third rail!Quote:

Whoa, who let Luke behind the bar? Did you scare off that nice Italian girl after I left?
Its a green-ish, grid fleece hoodie.
Julia? Nah she was working the front room. She came back in not long after. Luke and woody were serving drinks that night. Not good on the liver.Quote:

The only picture I have of Michele he's not in that hoodie, but he was wearing it all week
Lucky you -- she was super nice.Quote:

My head is spinning thinking of skiing over there.
Can someone talk about train travel with ski bags? Seems like it would be a giant pain standing there on the platform, or do you check your bag when you get your ticket? Thanks.
It's as much a pain as you make it. You don't check your bags. But platforms aren't crazy busy so that you can't navigate. I took a 50# bag on wheels. It wasn't easy to move fast but it was fine. Sometimes they don't fit well in the ski racks, but there is plenty of overhead space.Quote:

Hmmm...did most of you take a single pair of skis? I suppose mid-fats in a double bag with lots of other gear would make it easy to carry on the rest.
