We used the 8/9 foot settings, though it got away from us. Originally Posted by Que

It is partially buried in that shot, so it is actually bigger than it looks. Oh yeah, got in a a few turns also...

This is an igloo, not a kicker, correct? Looks like a cool place to set up shop.

It's a floor polish and a dessert topping!

So if your wife thinks your insane is it safe to assume that isn't her in the pictures?
Is this some sort of backcountry igloo love palace?

.....anyway, not offended at all, so not to worry. Could never get my wife up there, even if she was willing, which she is not
Some resort boarding, when the weather is fine is about all I can hope for with her. I am lucky I ever got her on one to begin with. She is not all that interested in suffering, and I don't hold it against her. Now the kids are a different story, game as hell and good at it to boot. They are, and continue to be, what keeps me young....
I plan on spending the night up there on New Years Eve...perhaps you would like to use it for a love palace when I am finished with it.....
Anyone?Old and Getting Older........

Very cool. Be sure to put a door flap up if you are spending the night. Makes a huge difference.

Seems like a shitty location... Nothing like waking up in the middle of the night to take a pee only to get blown off a ridge.

Yep. They come in handy, though it takes some practice. Getting the angle of the first row is crucial. Originally Posted by HikeforTurns

Slept in it on New Years Eve....bloody cold that night. How cold was it? Ask the folks from Victor and Driggs. Effing bloody cold. I touched my tripod with my bare hand. Shit!!! Like sticking your hand in a fire!!!
Did sleep warm though, and woke up to wind and snow. Such is life. Made one run down to the car. Light and fluffy boys, light and fluffy.
Headed for home, but never made it till much later...ended up on a chairlift with the boys!!
