You gonna be back up there again?

What would you do if you got to cherry pick the sickest runs on the planet from the front seat of a sexy red helicopter? I have no choice.

Some of the future big ballin' lawyer wages got you Jonesin'?

I need to tick Alaska off the list.

Late April is usually a pretty good time for walk-ons/deals. The last day of heli allowed in HNS is May 3rd. We usually go until around the 25-30th of April.

PM me if you want any beta (or an accurate conditions report during the season).

Ooooh. Can't wait to head up north for some of this next week!



If you haven't heard already, TGR is running the Guts For Glory photo contest and the grand prize is a heli-skiing trip with us @ SEABA in Haines!! Get your pics in the mix!

Carpetbagger!

See my last post for the link. It's a photo contest where the pic with the most "likes" wins a heli-skiing trip! Surely you must be getting some good ones this season.

"Submit your best Powder and Freeride photos for a chance to win a Grand Prize heli-skiing trip to Southeast Alaska Backcountry Adventures or one of two Category Prize packages from The North Face and Atomic. The winners will be determined through a process of on page user voting, TGR athlete/staff judging and TGR Forum voting as follows:

1) Submit your best Powder and Freeride photos to the contest between 1/16/12 and 3/11/12 at 11:59 PM MST. Photos must have at least 15 Facebook "Likes" to be officially entered, so share your entry(s) early and often.

2) Get your favorite photos noticed by Facebook "liking" them between 1/16/12 and 3/18/12 at 11:59 PM MST.

3) A committee of TGR athletes and staff will narrow the 25 most "liked" photos from each category down to 10 finalists by 3/25/12."

Who has time to stop for pictures when the pow is so good? Priorities I guess. Someday I'll ride a heli without a tool bag and dry suit.

Someday I'll ride a heli without a 50 lb. guide pack.

This thread fucking kicks ass.....

If you haven't heard already, Haines crushed the record for snowfall in town this year. We're somewhere around 350" in town @ sea level right now. This week has been off the chain.

Here are a few more from this week.

Wow...looks insane. Care to comment on stability, given recent events?

The accident which took Rob and Nick was certainly a really big bummer, and though I haven't heard many details yet, it seems to be an outlier with regards to the rest of the snowpack. Our internal stability rating has been stuck at moderate for a while now. Big big lines are getting sent daily.

Ha, yeah. Those guys got their minds blown for sure.

Just left HNS yesterday and looking back on this season all I can say is, "Fucking wow!" It was unreal. I'm still unable to fully comprehend it.

This little feature was affectionately named, "The Butter Pad." Tadashi Fuse gets busy.
