    I saw the heli take off and I was like "Owens is a lucky bastard" then I saw it land while up on the mountain and I was like I am a lucky bastard cause I was skiing the best pow of my life... But um chris please read my signature

    Hey Owens,

    If Satan is part owner of your company, I'm sure many a maggot would sell their soul to Heli with you. Great pics. The stuff dreams are made of.

    Owens, a couple questions:

    first of all, how many runs/day do customers get on average?

    does anyone ever get to ski the rockstar terrain if they want to? (or at least semi-rockstar for us mortals who try hard)

    It looks like you're running a pretty fucking sweet operation there.

    Screw selling my soul to Satan. Lets cut out the middle man. ONS, I've got a soul I want to sell to you.

    Samwich - you usually get 7 or 8 runs in a day. Somewhere around 20,000 - 25,000 vertical feet. 25 - 30 K of vert by heli pretty much beats the shit out of you unless you are in VERY good shape. I'm pretty dam sore today.

    As far as rockstar runs go, we'll take you plenty steep, but you won't see us taking you on a lot of "You fall, you die" rockstar runs. Quite frankly, most people aren't rockstars (There's a reason we all find the giant movie lines so impressive) and we would generally prefer that you continue to live.

    We will, however, evaluate your skiing as the day progresses and ratchet things up as we see you are capable and willing.

    I'm sure you do. If we do that, can I come live in your basement and borrow some ramen?
