Sorry man, I tried.... I might give it another shot if I get out again today.

thanks for regurgitating todays avalanche report, as if I hadn't seen it multiple times today (before I left and after). The slab they are talking about on the west side is in rush chute proper,...

Packs were with me and the other person that was with us. Beacons, well as you might guess are not visible, go figure? Imagine that! The aforementioned crown was a result of me botching my take off...

Gotta love TGR... :rolleyes2 Sorry for the oversized pictures I tried after the fact to fix it but it wasn't happening. From what I could tell there was only 1 blurred shot, and BTW we did have avy...

Today wasn't half bad up there, I have a feeling tomorrow might be pretty good too...


Sorry, tried to re-size them...

Made them 600x800 on my photobucket album so fuck it. Here are links:

Cool, how was the hourglass looking just out of curiosity???
I've only been out once this season so far since it blows so bad and I haven't got the gumption to take a long drive yet. Full moon on...

Here's what I've been listening too, kinda in order of what I've been listening to most recently to what I've not been listening to as much.

The Agonist (alissa is so hot!)
In Flames
Soilwork...

Well just to let you all know I'm still around if anyone really gives a flyin F'. Sorry I'm just not into high school click type bullshit like goes around here all the time. It wasn't nearly as good...

We rode a couloir in that area last june I think. There area actually over 5 lines in that basin of which I have only skied 1 of. Was the one to your NW super tight, steep, and fairly deeply inset up...

Today was pretty damn good. The crowds were a bit much however as parking became a real pain. We started down low to avoid the crowds:

COpow-
I know how to self arrest for sure, that's why I ride with it in my right hand(dominant hand) and keep it (pick) out away from myself. If I need to use it I need to be on my toes to really...

Hey Mirium I may be a snowboarder but I actually do have snowshoes. I think Ivana makes a valid point, that approach is less safe for sure as your essentially climbing up and out of a terrain trap...

I thought the stability was pretty decent with a few things worth noting. The gully that we started up was great untill we climbed out of it and we were experiencing some sketch conditions as we...

I met my friend Mark at floyd hill at 5:15 with hopes of getting an early start on the long ridge hike. Once we got to loveland pass we saw signs that the pass was closed. We found out they were...

I'm claiming the first track down, my friend Mark got the second. SWEET!
I'll post a TR when I get marks set of pics, I'm guessing it will mostly be pics of him as I dissapeared pretty quickly. My...

Thanks guys, that's what I was worried about (mostly for the NE face). Looks like the death chute on the SE face is in no? Also is the shitter in just really thin or not really skiiable? Anyone got...

Curious if anyone has pictures of what the NE and SE face is looking like this time of year? Also what about SFB? Stability's looking pretty good for now and I have a friend looking to shoot some HD...

First, I was actually happy to have the snow shoes as the snow was so solid I could not kick steps if I wanted to with my soft snowboard boots. I was having trouble sinking the shaft of my axe even....

Here are a bunch that probly qualify:

This area has alot of fun lines with easy access. The line for this trip was really aesthetic and none of us had ever been in it or really gotten the best view of it.

This was the first time I...

Adrenalated hit it on the head. Just do the math there was 3 of us, and someone was shooting the pictures(also only one person skiing at a time).....Good ol armchair QB's, assuming we have no gear....

Not a bad day! I even managed to wake up kinda early, capturing a nice sunrise in the process:

Lots of surface hoar around this...

True points. I thought about both for sure though, cranked pretty hard when I went down and skipped at the bottom the slab was pretty hard. I figured just incase I would stay strapped in and go...

*skip the first 2 paragraphs if you don't want the background info/ prologue.

Well I haven't really been that pumped this season, I sprained my ankle really bad over the summer and have not fully...

Fuck! Lot's of bad news abound. I wish you the best of luck sam, and a quick recovery hopefully. Sorry to hear it man, seems when it rains it pours.:(

Thanks for all of the positive responses everyone. Im glad you enjoyed my efforts. The camera angle for the shots of me was awsome for sure, remindes me of what it would be like shooting out of a...

very nice andy, that line is ultra classic.
I wish I knew the beta and logistics that's for sure.

Glad to see your still getting out, pleanty of snow left.
Keep up the strong work.
What else...

Well I knew there is more to evans then what meets the eye, and this year I started to do a bit more research. After studying topos and trying to find any pictures and any other info on ski routes...

Hey everyone, just found out a bit of really shitty news.....
Apparently the upper chicago lakes basin is affected by a wildlife closure from may 1st - june 30th as of this year for goat and sheep...

is that the line between the second and third aprons? the crystal? nice and skinny.

Nice, thanks for all the good responses.
Also thanks to Ireallyliketoski for the history (how do you know this BTW?). Its funny cause I didn't really believe it myself, but I had no better way to...

I must say it was really steep up top and through the choke, and the runnel made the choke even more technical as if you werent careful you would run out of room to turn and jump the runnel to the...

Well this year things have really come together for me a bit, I got oppertunity's to get on alot of things I hadn't been on in the past... This was no exception.

Ever since I first saw it last...

did anyone from on here tap into the goldfinger in the last couple days? I saw 3 tracks comming out yesterday.

Also anyone know anything about the bad finger? as far as I know it's never been...

Went back up today to get the line I scoped out yesterday. Got started hiking around 7:20 probly, and didn't stop till I was on top of my line (minus to breathe a couple times). Also decided to...

Went up today to check out a line and things are still looking good, By suprise I found a nice little mini shred line right off the path:...

Well after typing for a long time and having it all fubar when trying to submit im skipping all the details and cutting right to the action shots.
Ask anything your curious about.

My buddy nathan...

yea that's my favorite pic of the bunch for sure, he caught me just as I landed a jump turn with all the snow moving close up with the axe and all.
kinda captures the essence of why I was unsure of...

Nice work andy! Glad to see your still charging hard as usual, don't feel too bad about bailing. The Ego is a 1000 headed dragon as they say and it's hard to cut all it's heads off. It's always...

I enjoyed the hell out of this line for sure, I have to come back for more eventually. I would like to be able to hit it more fluidly, if the conditions allow I would like to str8 line the crux into...

Well after getting shut down last year I was pretty obsessed with getting up there again as many times as it took to get it done. With a little better planning and a bit of luck I got it done on my...

Nice job that's a fun little cruise. We did it for the first time last sunday, unfortunately 3 or so people beat us to it. That however made it really nice to get through the rocky section as...

I plan to hit that this weekend for sure, I have to work friday though I'm pretty sure. Went for the north couloirs on grizzly yesterday, what a mess.
Pure white out by the time we got to the base...

Nice work guys! I'm jelous for sure.
I was trying to get that sucker done a couple weeks ago but I could not get a partner :cussing:. Now I can't ride cause I went climbing last weekend and I took...

thanks for the update, that's good to know as I go up there atleast a couple times a year. I think I know of a spot where maybe 2-3 cars could park that's not too far from the main lot.

I can't belive someone has created an alias just for bashing me (wait yes I can) . Could it be the word gaper is over used? Na that's too obvious, must be some other pussy using him as a scape...

Well I have been getting on more pillows this year and I am trying to get them as clean as possible but I am realizing that it's pretty hard. Especially when the pillows are big or really steep with...

Yea that was a fuckin JONG move for sure, sorry about that. I need to read all instead of skimming, and make note of the date of post!:rolleyes2 Damnit!
