Hey Mike, you've been getting after it man. There were at least two chutes you showed that have me really jonesing for steep terrain.

Gotta love that going over the top of the moon feeling. You know it goes, but you can't see what's coming. Commitment, that's what skiing steep lines is all about.

Thanks for sharing your early season turns.

Edit; Skiing or riding, makes no difference to me. Fun is fun.

Brandon! Sick dude! I feel the same way! It's all just Slidin' man!!!

Tell you the truth that first line I showed, I scoped from the other side of the valley and I was pretty damn sure it went but when you're dropping in over that blind roll like you said it's definitely the ultimate feeling of commitment!!!

Came across a Moose after this shot on a cross country trail. Took a few minutes to get the courage to ride past it.

My buddies sled and I don't think it will fit in my carry-on. Plus I'm sh#t as a sledhead, bringing the Salomon though. Hope the snow is still good in March. Cheers Mike.

Here's some real porn. I've seen this place from across the valley, and sledded past there a million times, but never up close like this.....
