    Stole my question! hahaha!

    Awesome looking trip. Excellent stoke.

    Although that Jaeger /Lube pic is a little disturbing. Those aren't pillows!

    SFB always delivers the goods!
    next time you drive through spokompton (i'm assuming you did since you drove through kettle falls), you should stop for a toke-n-a beer!
    thanks for the inspiration

    oh hells yean Rickey Biffy Jongston
    you knows the deal
    i don't count or quantify much ,don't bother dribblin pee on myself to rack/count vert,
    but yous 2's friendship and blessins of stellar conditions on these shared hut trips are duly noted.
    far as the hut/lodge the follically challanged Bomber bros runs a no watered down well swag, top shelf op. From the chopper/pilot to the terrain to the awesome hut custodians.
    Don and Scott were great dudes and strove to make our stay as safe as enjoyable as possible. from the daily Can. Avvy centre/ weather updates to the day to day chores and upkeep of the lodge to terrain knowldge
    class acts
    priops to the cac i dig the just the facts mam don't spen a lot of energy social media ,#instagrammytweeterin bloggy drama llama fodder.
    a lot more about the message not so much messengers.
    the bomber and his crew spent a good bit of time redoing the kitchen and increasing the size of the food storage mud changing room
    hot water on demand w/ a new flash boiler and generally made a kick ass spacious lodge even better.
    the trips only canaussiesplitterbro Troy

    and mrs. bum whippin up some culinary delights

    the drying space is more than ample.
    the inside water closets nice but the kids still need to be air dropped into a blue waterless pool
    in the zone

    it's a small world the shitters got oldschool otter stoke
    hell ive know j w a while skiin sillytude never on soli skis though

    the lodges solar system an gennies supply ample power and the prayer flags add a namaste touch

    the sauna/shower sweat lodge rocks

    we found a good article on the bomber in kooyney mountain culture mag
    which also provided the lutz for the trip not sure if ya can zoom enough to read or if rb jongston smart phone scan worked but having spent a couple hut trips w/ team pee on yourself vert rack renegade.
    we were on the floor laughing out LOUD

    for the record Dr. Footsie popsickles McCorndog aint from wasangles pretty sure he's a calikook and i aint sure if that lack of fear is ignorance of any snow/stability knowledge or risk tolerance based but it's a sight to behold.
    posterchild worthy
    i can't say anything bad about j and b but ole lake affected and the one w/out fear are peices of work.
    you utards left quite an impression
    the hut bros had some good names for ya
    Cheapo McSaveabuck, and Packy McLeaver stood out
    so here we are atop a 1600' slide path they call down the road
    I'd Biffed down Babylon on both my previous lumberyard runs and was lookin for redemption atop burnout peak.
    s till dialin the kusalas but holy sheet do those things slay sum pow pretty much make any turn you ask of em
    well untill your rubber chix legs give out
    shit skied stellar no pics and yeah havin all of us in the choke atop each other wasn't protocal but just one of those things that seem to inevitably happen.
    mrs. sfb looks back she's smiling inside


    and the #uptrack2happyhour is ascended once again

    shit skied well
    well enough for team USA to return the next day
    settlement observed

    looking over at the lumberyard and ice cream cone

    it's better to burn out....

    #focus

    and more pinky
