arrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhh nice.

so hard to be sitting a desk right now. although this provides stoke for later.

I saw you two fellas on the way out, when I was headed in for two nights (Hi again!). I saw your turns, and skied much the same aspects you guys got, albeit on saturday and sunday.

Nice photos! I got some too, I think. I got buzzed good by a helicopter sunday morning as I was packing camp (after an ok morning ski on the upper reaches of Russell - fast, icy in patches, but short and sweet).

The headwall above observation rock was a lot of fun, but skiing the Flett headwall noon on sunday was the best I got, better than at 11 on sat (even with a big weekend pack on). It helped that cat eye lake was gonna be my lunch swim spot - sublime even with the odd mosquito. 

(I tried to post some pics, even renamed them, but they won't go)

Great pics!  Thanks for sharing.
