TR: Dunderberg, 9/2/12

On Sunday I joined dookey67 and gone2alpine for some September turns at Dunderberg.
Upon arrival we were joined by a couple of Dunderberg tele skiing veterans, Eric and Thomas.
We were also joined by another special guest - more about that later.

We started out at Hidden Samurai Glacier.

Vets looks for a line:

One gone2alpine...

...followed by two gone2alpines...

Looking back at Hidden Samurai Glacier:

Next, we would head to Jack's Glacier...

Jack's Glacier panorama:

The ice cave we explored two weeks before had melted out and fallen off into the pond.

Before leaving we had a special visitor. Next...

Who is skiing down Jack's Glacier?

Could it be?

Optimus Prime point:

This could make returning for October turns more interesting.

Great stoke getting after the last little patch of snow before the new season starts.

Of all the shit a person might pack into an area like that, That stupid hat?

Vid of Optimus Prime helmet rolling down over the rocks would have been worth a look

Dude, that's the Maggoptimus Prime helmet/outfit from the 2008 Mammoth Mini. It has history, yo!

It is about 75 miles from my door to the snow. However, due to the interesting last 5 or so miles, the drive time is around an hour and 45 minutes (which is the same as my drive time to Mammoth.)

I need an October. Is there a date set to head back down there.

This weekend is a possibility, depending on weather and transportation.

Yes! A friend sent me a video from there last week. Besides the man-eating suncups it looked like there were also crevasses big enough to get lost in.
