TR: Fissile Like A Missile
Fissile Like a Missile.
LeeLau “Hey want to go ski some mellow low angle pow?”
Shirk “Yeah dude I live for that stuff. Is it nice and close to the lifts?”
LeeLau “Yes, it’s just a short skin OB”
Shirk “Sounds like a nice mellow plan, my favourite kind of stuff.”
Uh oh we had better get our butts out on that skin track, Extreme SteepTech snowlerblader is eyeing our lines on the map.
Lee “just follow me our mellow objective is just over this way”
Ohhhhh lookie here, is this Fissile
skin skin skin up up up
Yep the view out here really sucks sometimes
On top of Whirlwind peak Shirk and James ask “Where is the meadow skipping Lee”
Well it’s not meadow skipping, how about a little glacier skipping
Hmmm I wonder whats at the end of this glacier skipping rainbow….

LeeLau “I know this nice mellow line off the top of Fissile…lets skin up to the peak and look around”
Shirk and James on top of Fissile
Lee “The mellow line is just down there”
Okay now I see the mellow line,,,just down there
“Shit what was that crap Gordy told me in Cham….”
“Damn it gets steep here above the choke”

James “LEEROY JENKINS”
Lee “Hey you guys like this mellow line I found…I LOVE it”
The point
I know Gordy, I have to get that other hand out front.
I think the background has one or two nice mellow lines
Just a little glacier skiing

Watch out for that ice fall
Navigation does play a factor when skipping glaciers
“Do you guys know where you want to go next time out this direction?”
Lee practicing his North Shore skinnies skills on Signing Pass
Skiing all the way to the base of Signing Pass in late April = Priceless
Here is the key to how Shirk and LeeLau stay so skinny…post tour feast

That was some absolutely stunning terrain. Great score. What's with all the turns down that chute?
That chicken looked good too. Not enough chicken in TRs these days.

Wow you are going on my short list of people to start stalking for stoke. What more could somebody want to bring you up on a quick TGR work break while messing around with InstallShield 11.5 C# .NET dependency errors?
This thing is somewhere near Whistler? I didn't realize there were so big glaciars out that way. Can you pinpoint it a little more for those that aren't in the know about the area?
