    Alta 10/26/04

    Argghhh. The whole thing crashed when I hit the submit button, so here it goes again. I hope you all like it.

    APD, roomate Dave, and myself went up for some morning turns today. We were going to ski High Baldy traverse into the Bird, but after seeing that the avie danger was listed as potentially becoming High after the winds last night, we decided to do some smaller, more sheltered stuff instead. I forgot my shell, so I had my pack stuffed full of everyone's extra fleeces in case I got soaked and needed to change into something dry. Luckily the weather was nice and I got away just wearing my fleece the whole time. We did a shoulder and a Wildcat trees. It was very good. We also got a lot of pictures. APD got the action shots, I took the scenery and uphill stuff.


    Our line from Sunday. It's directly skier's right of the big triangular cliff face - Toledo Bowl.

    My first decent look downcanyon - it sure is purdy.

    Dave and I split with APD after the shoulder lap, since we had to get down for class, and he had some more time to goof around. So, no action shots of Wildcat trees, I'll just say it was deeper, and the rolling terrain in there made it a run to remember.

    I was up there too!

    Dragged Rotney + 1, Altoid, and SandytheSkier to the shoulder this morning. First lap I hucked the bottom part of the double just above tree jump. It was super sweet! Altoid and Sandy bailed after that so Rotney and I made our way up to Bad News. I was going to huck the 25'er skiers right of the chute but when I put my goggles on they were all fogged. I decided just to point it and straightline the chute. It was super sweet!

    We then made our way down catching freshies the whole way. The coverage up there is amazing right now, about the same as around Christmas last year. Saw APD looking for a ski but didn't get the chance to say hi.

    Dude, you live in alaska, you win, even over utah, you win... I live in maryland, so you can blow me like Paris Hilton in the video I just downloaded!



    Her boyfriend owns her, the video is quite funn, in one part I asume he is giving it to her up the ass (cant see because of the angle), and she keeps telling him not to go in all the way because it hurts, and hes just says "what, you like it, harder?" and keeps going at it. But she is a trooper, keept on gigling it hurts, and I belived her

    Would now be a good time to let Droopy know that although AKPM looks like a chick, he is actually a guy?

    that was skiingbear's friend patrick that i was with. he lost his ski over the weekend and was determined to find it. i split with gramps so patrick could have a little help. we found the ski within about 20 min.

    my tracks went off the cliff just to skiers right of the top of that double. that double looked like a bit more than i wanted after looking down at it in the flat light.

    edit: btw, i pulled out the 194 stockli ss pros today and found out at the very bottom that i had skied on din 4 the whole way down. the double eject on a compression at the end of run left my skis in the same spot i flew out of them. that was a clue.


    some of these new smilies are tits:

    here's what i did when i split from gramps and dave the roommate. patrick was excited to find this ski near the top layer after ~20 min of probing and using the metal detector. one ski and a metal detector on the back and we were off to the parking lot.
