TR: Hourglass Chute, Tremor, 55 degrees, 180m, a sick line

This is about a 4 hour hike away from Blackcomb. Brad, Brian, and I all had high hopes of skiing this chute. The winds had raped most of the peaks and as a result Brad and I backed off and didn't feel comfortable skiing something as knarly as Hourglass without knowing what the snow conditions were. Brian decided to ski it though and shredded it. Wished I had skied in retrospect but next time.

Probably the most impressive line I have seen skied. Period.



Brian shredding











Brian is putting up some sick photos when he gets back home, showing his skis and the knive edge and the line. Make sure you check back for those.

Teaser pics.



Standing atop the line looking down the backside of Tremor.


Still standing in the exact same spot looking down the line to the Glacier.
Brad is the little spec in the lower right and postman is in the upper right.

Seeing the photoshopped one makes me a little sick in my stomach. Way to slay a sick line.
