Took the sled in 8 miles on a freeze ass morning at 45mph up to White Pine Knob. Parked it, skinned a short distance and scored perfect conditions for an afternoon in the sun.
Lot's of settling and thumping in the snowpack, so we stayed on mellow angles for the day. Great way to close out an incredible November.

It's brutal work, but somebody has to do it.

Beautiful pics once again T-head. Love the skin track shot with the deep blue sky in the background. For a moment I felt like I was there.

Glad to see that sled not in the closed area! Did you ski any shots into White Pine Canyon? Those north-north east shots are truly delicious! Goota be careful of a weak shear layer underneath, 18" or so. Heard of some breaking Sunday.
God those tracks look great! Skiing Wed? I just handed out my thesis..oh what a feeling! Work on the presentation a little tonite and then ski..ski ski ski ski and more fukking skiing!
and by the way..imagine skiing that face under a full moon in 10" of recrystallized! yep...had that four nights last year!There's a world out there full of color, dreams, and imagination. What are you waiting for?

What a beauty, sigh. Brings to mind just how much working a 9-5 can suck....well, work at least pays for gear, but on the other hand I could always sell my body for that, leaving my days open to ride....hmmm. Food for thought, eh?
This touchy-feely Kumbaya shit has got to go.

And yes Stoy, I can imagine skiing that under a 'fool' moon. It would be a great place for it.Last edited by Trackhead; 11-30-2004 at 05:57 PM.
