I landed a gig guiding clients up Rydor’s on East Peak visible from town in a Piston Bully 300 for 907 Snowcat. Here are some pics from our first day out.
Summit of Bowl 2 for our second run because run number one was just too good.
Hell of a way to carpool. I feel so green.
Our Piston Bully 300. Russ hangs it out there to get us to the goods.
Obligatory summit shot from top of Bowl 1.
Psyched peeps from Wasilla, Colorado, Montana and New York.
Getting ready to drop. Rock band out right caught some people off guard, nothing a steep powder landing couldn’t fix though.
Nearing the bottom.
Runs 11 and 12 for the day took us down this line. Best of the day.
A little different than New York.
Happy faces after run 10.
Hippy Pow to the Hollywood Cliffs.
Dude dropping into run number 12 for the day. Did 13 total runs.
yes
Snow was variable for the 2,000 ft run back to the base but the upper laps were butter smooth.
Also completed our final courses for the Introduction to Backcountry Skiing course (ODS 121) I taught through PWSCC. Great class! It was really fun to see everyone gain confidence. After our last course we stopped in at the new Tsiana Lodge to rub shoulders with rich European heli-skiers and sit on leather couches. This weekend is a 3 day weekend for Robyn and I and we may find ourselves in Fairbanks for a long procrastinated visit. A job I applied for as a Snow Ranger on Mount Washington closed today. Fingers crossed. Other prospects are Chile and possibly Ketchum or Lander. What’s next? Nobody knows.
sweet photos! fingers crossed for Mt. Washington:0 we had a conversation on Sunday about moving to Lander….it’s a sweet town-with amazing rock! have you looked in to NOLS?
I’m always on the edge of my seat waiting to read the next chapter in the What Comes Next series! 🙂
