TR - Beating the heat at Skyscraper 8-11-07

[SILENCER]

So it looks like Adimmen and Summit beat us by a day! Never fear.

A different four ventured out this Saturday to Skyscraper. There was a little more snow than last year oddly enough. This field always kinda puzzles me, it holds snow for so long and is basically south facing. Ain't complaining! We took a different approach than last year, and the weather held out perfectly.

Looking over from the larger shelf you can see Adimmen and Summit's lines from the day before:


First August turns:






Killer Cheetah dropping in the 50 deg entrance. Special note, this is her first full season of skiing anywhere and she's already pretty fearless to handle stuff like this:





Becky joins the crew:


A pretty hairy bootpack up and we rested, then suited up for a second drop.



Mikey making it look graceful. Happy August...



Another day slayed.






Next it was a nice warm hike out, and a visit to the Pub on the way home for pizza and libations. Bring on September!

Good to see someone getting turns. I have lacked the dedication this summer.
