Size 1.5 slide in Flute today (which did not suck). Skier triggered cornice failure.

Or as Mike D put it (who was first on scene), clueless whistler slackcountry user learns about cornices the hard way... Patrol was out dog sniffing for a bit, but the dude who took the ride was apparently OK.

fuck man, vibes to you and all who knew the guy Athan. Too much bad shit going on lately. This guy on Currie, Blurry gets smoked who knows how hard, my buddy gets a call yesterday morning just after a stellar top to bottom powder lap on Whistler that his college buddy was the guy that died on Mt Shasta last weekend. Fuck!!

You mean the 60' back flip stuck clean to a 30' three? No pic, I just barely caught it with my own eyes. Definitely one of the sickest things I've ever seen, I hope it is documented somewhere.

Nads, that was fun to watch!

Wow, sucks about the avie on Currie, condolences to those involved.

Khyber, when did that slide happen? Hit the chute skier's right of the summit around 1:30, but I didn't notice that slide.

Well, there was still fun to be had inbounds today!

Bombhole to 6 or 7 ragdolls, but that was fun!

it would be cool to capture the tomahawk effect in full turbo mode on film... sky-snow-sky-snow-sky-snow-sky-snow-sky-snow... and having the time to wish it would just stop.

Heh, I gotta say, tomahawking, when you know you're safe and not gonna get hurt, is a pretty fun feeling. Once I landed and cleared all the rocks (by less than I wanted), I just let loose and went for a smooth washing machine ride

Would anybody be driving up from Vancouver tomorrow afternoon or evening by any chance? I would contribute to gas and beer if you happened to have a seat.

Heyo! Might actually be heading down to baker tomorrow to do some shoostage, still tentative though. If it does happen, will be coming back through Van -> Pemby sometime that night. Always down to give a lift.

I used to think so as well until I turbo tommyhawked and cracked my C6 a few yrs back. Not fun. Now I try to avoid the tommyhawk at all costs.
