    Cool Photo TR: The Powder Dream 1.13.07

    1.13.07
    20"+ of 5%
    BlurredElevens, Kya, Chokeslam, iskibc






    Ever experience the "powder dream"? You know the ones where the snow is perfect, the terrain is never ending, and as you float down the line the conditions just keep getting better and better? The powder dream never has any kinks in it. Everything plays out like it was meant to be. The perfect skin, the perfect 32 degree powder field, the perfect amount of snow, the perfect group of buds, the perfect scenery, and the perfect run.....






    after run.....






    after run......







    after run.....







    and so on. I have them just about every other night, but on this day I got to live one of them.





    Usually they are ski dreams where every little detail is right on the money. Every turn yields a face shot, the consistency of the snow is that of the lightest and softest cotton, and the terrain is just right for charging hard through deep pow.





    The dream where the scenery is almost that out of a fairy tale book. The dream where the approach becomes one long meditative state of mind where the mind and body connect. The dream where the stoke rises higher and higher each and every step or stride.






    The approach on this day was spiritual. Not in a godly way, but in more of a natural way. It was like we were flirting with mother nature and she was giving in. The gates to heaven were open and we got our experience through the form of deep powder and some amazing scenery. No other words can really describe so I'll let the pictures do the talking....







    Details, details, details:








    Chokeslam on the road to the goods:







    Almost there:





    On the road to heaven:






















    About 30' above the clouds as the storm breaks:

    You have no clue about the dream. In the dream, people care about other people. Else it's just a nightmare of pretty pictures. Like a shiny red apple with a rotten core.

    BTW, today did not suck. We didn't stop for photos.

    Too bad there isn't anything good to ski at Beaver Creek. They didn't even have cookies and hot chocolate at the top of the skin track... I need to bring spare batteries for the digi cam next time!

    In my powder dreams, I don't cross tracks......ever

    Amazing TR and beautiful ski action shots

    some of the skin track shots are cool, but what's with all of em? Is this your new thing? You just hike in your dreams don't you?

    Yeah! What everybody else said!!!
    Fighting leads to killing, and killing gets to warring. And that was damn near the death of us all.
