Esoteric Global Descents?

If we could get an 8 foot deep snow pack in Sedona there'd be some serious bangers dropping off the Rim through the sedimentary rock layers and spires.

A more possible or obtainable objective could be skiing some of those big multiple drop lines off Mount Charleston in Vegas. It does line up from time to time.

My kid spent a lot of time skiing Charleston last winter although I don't think he would be doing big multiple drop lines--not by himself. I think he ran into a total of one person there. Was last winter a good year on Mt. Charleston--will he be disappointed in winters to come? He gets to climb it plenty in the summer--it's Currahee for LV military folks.

I once talked to a farmer and asked if I could park my rally car and ski some shit in his backyard. He said yes, so I skied it.







Then I once spent 5 years trying to ski a line with an old friend:

Then we did it.

Then I got pissed off and worked on another line for another 5 years:

Then skied it solo.

Then I stopped taking photographs of lines.

Nice!

I don't really follow their storms or snowfalls. We've been having mostly good years down here and I imagine our storm tracks are fairly similar.

If they get a good one that terrain sure does look nice. Perfect tree skiing I hear.

I think Crete was probably mentioned in this thread due to the NYTimes article on skiing there, but here's a recent write-up on Wildsnow as well. Apres ski gyro truck fuck yeah

Looks like a good time. Dudes need 20 less lbs on their ski setups but, ah to be young.

Lebanon has always been on my list. I just re-read the Ski Journal article on it from 7.2. Big mountains, lots of terrain and sometimes lots and lots of snow

Is that Ziskin with the big hat?

Whenever I fly over mountains, its easy to look down and pick-out heliski routes and LZ's.

That was great. Thx for the share.
