    First day:


    A day for the powder skis:




    Stuck:








    Haha, look closely...






    This kinda shows the snowdepth:








    Wow, has this gotten washed out, threading the needle:


    Landing:


    Hiking:


    Powder awaits:






    Mount Washington:




    More deep snow:


    Air time:










    More air:


    Funny expression:




    Knee deep:


    Gapping the rocks:


    Bluebird day to finish things off:

    A for effort + D for excessive gapery = a C+ score for this TR. Thanks for bringing the stoke.

    It may also have something to do with the direction your leg is facing in comparison to your head. Extra steezy gaper points to your crew for going OB without gear.

    This pic really needes some tilting in the right direction. It's like the polar opposite of skidog's (or whoever that guy was). You're supposed to make it look steeper and more gnar, not less gnar.

    Cool TR, tho. Where's Wildcat? I thought this was gonna be yet another bunch of photos of the shit I am missing at Alta.

    Yeah I really screwed up on that pic...

    Wildcat is in New Hampshire, right across from Mount Washington, where Tuckerman Ravine is, which I am sure you have heard of or seen pictures of at some point in time. I'd love to get to the other Wildcat (Alta) sometime soon... who knows maybe next season, no money at the moment.

    Many frozen creeks at Wildcat, after owning a season's pass there for 5 years I think I am starting to get to know the place. I can ski all day, never ski the same woods stash twice, and never ski a full trail. Fun mountain.

    Now that would be sick!

    It was the March 1st storm. Day 2 it was windy and everything blew into the woods making for fresh tracks round 2.

    And yes, if anyone is going there and wants to be shown around, just send me a P/M... of course the snow needs to be there too...

    Oh yeah, thanks for editing that photo, now it really captures the steepness of the trail

    Wow, I am glad I don't have to ski there anymore...I am a completely spoiled powder snob now, I guess

    BUT, Wildcat will forever have a place in my heart.
