Alright, I'm going to get shelled because I have no photos, nor do I know how to post them on here should I have any. But finally, today--the 29th of April--the Chimney saw some real action. It wasn't even ideal conditions. The storm that blew through left about 2" of new instead of the 4" of perfect buff that I was hoping for. But a little bit held up inside the Chimney, and opened up some opportunities.
I got to get Easy Street (the first time it's been hit this year). It looked rowdier than it was: a 100' long, 65 degree narrow tube over a bunch of pepper to a smooth 30' air. Then my brother Robb threw down the Center line (it's first taking of the year). It was a 4' drop in to a critical stop on a 60 cornice face with tons of exposure, then gnarly arching turn to 30' air. Things carried on, people dropping in all over, until a guy named Gunner decided on Schmidiots. In it's absolute rawest form ever, with deadly consequences with the slightest error, he pulled it off.
Anyone got any photos? Otherwise, you may be able to check out the tracks by using the Ubercam at squaw.com... Fun day.

to post photos, you can choose to "attach" to your post, although I believe they have to be a certain size/resolution, I don't know the limitations.
OR, you can post the photos at a place like biglines.com, and link to the photos by putting [IMG]yourpicture'swebaddress[/IMG]. To get the pic's address, right click on the pic, go to 'properties', and copy the address. Or if you have a mac just drag the pic into the post you put here.
It's actually really easy, there's buttons you can click at the top of your post to pull it off. Probably the hardest part is remembering your biglines login/password. Unless you post pics like 600 times a day like AKPM or 0BernardFranz do.

Gunnar skied before me at the bird and had an amazing recovery skiing at high speeds on 1 ski that got the biggest cheers of the day from the crowd below.
Sounds like it went off.

Some Chimney Video
I didn't tape everyone, nor did I stay for Gunnar's feat, but here is some footage from April 29th on the chimney. 5Mb Video Skiers are Kris, Miles, Gunnar, Charlie, and Adam (picking up a pole in Easy Street and almost dying on Center Line) in that order.
I'm back.

Okay, I posted some pics I took today, just tracks. Sometimes the silent evidence of the session looks even cooler. Plus, the best angles tend to be away from the Chimney. I attached them to the start of this thread (my first post), but who can help my idiot self in opening them directly on the page? (Okay, basom took care of it, above...)
Gunnar's track in Schmidiot's is just barely visible.Last edited by huckasoreass; 04-30-2005 at 03:18 PM.
