Calm. Clear. Cool. Firm crust with icy ruts. Good exercise.  David jumps for joy:  https://vimeo.com/54247594
Thanks for the vid, Silas. Good meeting you today! The Summits survived but my buddy's VerticalST's had a toe latch disassembly moment. He should have been using the '94 model! Good day for a hike and smiles. I actually enjoyed the glacial conditions.

Any face shots? Hopefully, no face PLANTS! Hope the conditions where you were had not the brutality of Lower Nash back to lodge...Survival sking at it's finest!!

No face plants to my knowledge; below the wild man taming the bullet proof.


Nice hang time on that jump Dave.....!

Not as bad conditions the day before, the wind crust was pretty bad on the top 1/3 of the mountain

Thanks for the info and pics. Looking at the lack of the skis going in to the snow I am kind of glad I made the seemingly wise decision to let my ribs heal a few more days before skiing.
