Late March Madness

It was a bit of a wait here for the skies to clear again, but when they finally did patience paid off in a BIG way.  This time of year everyone seems to be off everywhere getting it done,  while Ian Macintosh has been here in the Pemberton Backcountry silently CRUSHING IT.  Here’s a few shots of some of the lines that have gone down over the last little bit, including a notorious double that no skier has ever done (only talked about after 2 shreds hit it 7 years ago).  It’s called Papa Jordan and in 10 years of filming, it is by far the rowdiest line I have ever seen go down.  A 45ft. cliff to mandatory 80ft. rock ride – INSANE.
