2010. ABA. Thompson pass. Blue bird day. 12” of fresh pow. All time AK conditions. First time in AK and by far my best trip. Last three trips up had horrible conditions. One trip Dean Cummings was our guide. One run, he assessed the run, looked up at us and said, “boys, this is gonna suck. Just get down. “. Imagine him telling you that as you stare down 3000 ft of vertical in front of you of pure boiler plate.
As for the spine in 2010, it’s was all time. Untouched. Slayed it top to bottom. One of my best runs to date. That day was all time for AK. Sadly never been able to get close to those conditions in AK in three additional trips. Some day....

What a beauty of a line. The conditions you describe sound nasty though. Couldn't imagine hitting that in prime conditions. Originally Posted by Sluff
