TR: Rainbow helidrop part deux

[Mark-R]

Me, Khyber and a few others had an awesome time on Rainbow mountain with a little assistance getting up there. We were shredding by 8:30am
Seeing it was a clear day, I figured it was worth bringing the big camera up there.
So here we are before liftoff, with some their first time being in a heli.

Sweet sunrise

Our objective of the day, that big face being the east glacier

getting closer

sooo smooth

the crew

it's business time!

back up for more

so much powder, so few of us

funky cornices



trickier navigation begins

and the snow gets deeper!

our backyard, Blackcomb ski runs in the background (right)

Success! avoided cliffs, crevasses and found the pow!


I'll spare you the rest (logging road death crust, open creek jumping).
What a day! This helidrop thing is giving me ideas...
