Ullr has been generous this season with the right snow to get our steeper terrain really filled in nicely. We have been able to ski them for over a month now, but this weekend served up the best its been a while. Deep and stable except for some fast running sluff that gave me a short ride. No one around all weekend, could not have been more ideal.
Treewelldweller, High Anxiety, AKOKskis, Sequoishan, and myself set out on a trip to get some of the better ones over the course of 2 days.
The climbing was sporty, arduous, and really fun
High Anxiety making his first turns
TWD dropping in off the ice fall
and turns in the chute
Sequoiashan shredding
Coming off the headwall into the chute
Akok going in
going into the chute
HA coming down the chute
and finishing it out with surfing on the walls
Seq doing the same
Myself getting in the fun
TWD finishing out the day
High Anxiety ending it out through the chokes
snowing hard out again, hope we can keep this streak going.

Wow! I am super jealous, way to keep HA in shape though...now he’ll be ready to ski some eastside gnar.
TC, I hear you might be making an appearance on the ES this month? Could be fun....

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayum... That looks freakin' amazing!
It's like clockwork- if Sequoiashan is in the lineup, you fucked up if you weren't there! Dood knows how to pick his days!

Awesome shots. Where is this video I heard of though? Not sure if the first or second shot of Sequoiashan is my favorite. The background in the first is awesome.
Maybe we'll have a you show me yours and I'll show you mine weekend sometime soon

I had a "Where's Waldo?" moment looking at that second photo. And that's a good thing.
