I'll kick it off with a few pictures from Squaw on Saturday.
Here's the South Lake crew invading the base area:
Looking down into Silverado, just above one of the thousands of available hucks:
The cool thing about this wasn't that it was huge: it was that everyone in our 10+ person group did it.
Some of the finger chutes in Silverado (in the shadows). Several of us dropped the one to looker's right:
Last couple runs on the west face of KT. The next line we hit, right beside this, involved a rock garden, some trees, and a funky little chute that choked into a straightline to air to dogleg left. No pictures of that because I was too busy making sure I didn't fall and slide all the way down to the Headwall chair (you can see the bottom of it in the pic).
Saying goodbye, again at the top of West Face. It's about a 50 degree pitch at the top.
Nice pics. Too much fun. I'm beat.
^bump^ for more pics.
Word. (Especially for us suckers already back home & at work.)Quote:

Spats enjoyed talking with you at Bubbs Sunday. Fine image looking down through Monster tips to new Headwall lift way below. Way steep. -dave

You could keep skiing and have to hike or you could traverse skiers left and avoid hiking

Flanker landing his West Shore huck (too slow with the trigger finger to catch him in flight)
Sorry about the shitty quality of the photos... I had to reduce them to fit the board and I think I went a little overboard. PM me if you want the full sized version (2MB+) of any of these.
yeah! nice pics slim!
too bad ya just missed flanker mid-flight.....it was a really cool huck.
flanker and his C3 (Crazy Canadian Contingent) crew absolutely rock...on and off the hill. Thanks for coming down guys.
Spats- Thanks for the tour around Squaw. It was awesome.
I wish we had hits like that here with like take offs and landingsQuote:

here's a shot of West Shore for some perspective...early season...the rocks in the middle are covered now

Damn that West Shore looks nice. I certainly didn't manage to find that while I was there on Feb 27th. Where is it at Kirkwood? Out past the Wave or way out past Palisades?
Why so many turns? ;)Quote:
bump for pics!
and for when nater finally gets off the hill so that he can add his own.
I should have put a photo credit on that pic :)
...to everyone that I took out there:
that place does not exist ;)
slim, stop taking pictures of my ass.
I have a pic of you cowboying out of that little chute. As it was taken from below, pointing up, the steepness is not evident and the photo does not even come close to doing the line justice. Once I scan it, I may post it, making sure that everyone keeps in mind the steepness apparent in that awesome shot of yours. ;)Quote:

Thanks again for the tour, spats.
Sick and ashamed and happy (and I believe I offered to retire that),
d.
CAW! CAW!! CAAAWWW!!!
DUDE. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LOSE THE SICK AND ASHAMED. ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. PERIOD.Quote:

char: any time.
gincognito: ditto. Post away. I'm not a rockstar.
Note the angle of the trees in the background: I rotated the pic so they were vertical. The steepness now agrees with my gut check: about 45 at the top, more at the rollover.
Here's one of a bunch I took at Kirkwood on Sunday. Kush airing it out - and yes, he did land it ;)
http://www.tetongravity.com/usergall...10319/kush.jpg
That's a cool pic. Kush stomped a few burly lines this past Sunday....definitely steppin it up.
Roo -- We gotta make some turns on Saturday....Are you going to be at the Beaver Friday night?
I'm taking a day off today to ease the sun burn! Damn it was hot at Alpine yesterday - spent most of the day in the park to escape the knee deep poling downhill glop that was smeared across most of the mountain.
I'll be up at Squaw with Shera and the crew tomorrow and will definitely be at the Kirkwood and the Beav on Friday (as long as I don't wreck myself on the Palisades in the meantime).
Gin is fixing up after his excursion in Upper Cham - he's a tough little fella.
whoa...what happened? He skied Upper Cham pretty well on Sunday.....Quote:

Is there anyone more aware of the presence of a camera than Mr Superstar Punani? A gathering of maggots above Heart Chute, Kirkwood.

I wasn't there at the time but he took a very ugly bounce down onto some rocks, punching a few holes in his arms and ripping the shit out of his back. Mrs Roo fixed him up a bit when he got back but I think he had a very uncomfortable night! He's back in the saddle today up at the Weed.Quote:
