Igneous Rock photos in this months Powder

**elevens** · 01-19-2007, 12:43 PM

Mike Tierney has once again proven that he's one of the best 'under the radar' skiers out there. Talk about falling equals serious issues lines, in the last two issues of Powder, his segments are jaw dropping. His line in the Powder Annual was head shaking ridicules and now Igneous Rock off Cody Peak this month. How big is the exit air? Looks like a good 80+ and that first face is the face that Steve Koch ski/ based jumped off of last year – correct?

I've got some hi-res photos of Mike completing that crazy line called Igneous rocks, but not sure if I should post them.

I'd post them and just make sure to give proper credit............

Mike sent them to me after he did the line....do you know how bad I wanted to post those? Yep, that bad.

I don't know who took them...I guess I could look at the powder mag, but you know what I mean, I didn't take them so I wouldn't want to piss anyone off.

I believe it was also filmed and will be in an up coming movie. I watched him ski that line last year on closing day.

You are talking about Matt Combs or Roner. Koch doesnt Ski Base to the best of my knowledge.

**Sensisnow** · 01-19-2007, 02:07 PM

I believe Stephen Koch pulled off the first (snowboard?) decent of igneous rocks, but rappelled into the adjacent couloir rather than hucking it like Tierney did.

**Mikey** · 01-19-2007, 02:21 PM

I think that line might be in Trail and Air - this year's Stormshow movie. It's well worth checking out, although the only place i've ever seen it for sale is the liquor store attached to Albertson's in Jackson.

**skier666** · 01-19-2007, 06:06 PM

Its in Respect too, but they edit it really quick, so its hard to really appreciate the line. I'll send an email to Mike to see if I can post them just to be safe.

Stephen's line was skiers left of this face, called talk is cheap. He rappelled into Central and aired that out of it. Roner is the one who ski based it first, although someone else ski based it in Trial and Air a week or two after Roner did it.

Bump cuz I would love to see this pics.
Anyone got the raw footy of this, unedited stuff from Respect?

**XtrPickels** · 01-20-2007, 12:53 PM

I saw trial and air when I was getting some pizza at bigsky. Looks like a good flick. Any Bozoner's know if I can find this locally?

**gforce** · 01-20-2007, 01:00 PM

If you really want to see it get Stormshows new movie as suggested "Trial and Air". Pretty sick movie with quite a bit of Tierney footage this year. Funny intro, great JH skiing, creaitve angles and editing. To get around the high cost of shooting overhead footage from a heli, they shot alot from filmers in paragliders above the action.
Pretty crazy to see a line being ripped by a skier with legs and feet of the filmer in the foreground.
