Awesome write up and photos per usual, SFB, thats the soul-glow of TGR right there."Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. The winds will blow their freshness into you, and the storms, their energy. Your cares and tensions will drop away like the leaves of Autumn." --John Muir

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....
