Got out into the Blackcomb backcountry for a trip onto one
of my favorite skiing areas.North face powder on Decker mountain
with a friend who got a silver and gold medal in the Olympics in
the Men's 8 man rowing team.

Blackcomb backcountry is pretty epic when it's clear. Looks like a great day. I dig the bad brains song.

Yes a fun place with clear weather and stable avalanche conditions...

I knew there was a slight chance someone would recognize and like "Bad Brains"

Later!

Very nice video. I luv the Bad Brains I have seen them live 5x. Decker looks epic.

Decker is fun and there are many ski line options....Steeps, tight chutes, finger chutes, this day we chose powder less incline and a longer run...You need good stability for the steeps...

Cheers!
