Thanks everyone,
for a super fun first run,
at the Silverton Splitfest!
Looking forward to putting the poster together for next year....got some sik reference material over the week I was shredding around S San Juans with different folks. It snowed 15" in Taos the day I got back home too NM, so Im still getting shreddy., but will post some pics as soon as I weed through the 500+ images I took. Thanks again to everyone who made this such a special event

Excellent photos as per usual HFT!

Nice photos, and nice lines... Love the high walled chutes.... Open bowls are great, but when I dream of backcountry lines, they always have towering walls of granite somewhere in them...

Similar shots as those above from HFT, but from my perspective:

Really Nice looking terrain. Glad you guys had good snow and a good time. Im a little sore today. Thats from Kicking myself in the ass for missing this one. SEE YOU NEXT YEAR

Finally uploading some of mine. Yeah, not always the prompt one, this kid.

Jacob shredding Kendall Mountain Resort. Very hardcore, very technical.

All in all a righteous time. Huge thanks to John and Jason for pulling everything together. I can't wait for next year, and I definitely hope to see some of you before then.

It's always been a hard thing for me to participate in an online community like this without knowing any of the other users in real life, so it was great to get to meet so many all at once. So thanks to everyone who participated and brought the loving vibe to share.

Although I gotta say, Hike for Turns and Mountaindog, you guys win for most epic photos of the weekend. Hat off to you guys.

Mountaindog kills it!

Thanks. I'll use carrying around the dSLR as an excuse for being the slower one on the trip .

vegwerm- Great shots! Good to see some more pics from the trip. That Wiley line looked awesome.

I cant compete with all the great photos and lines you guys have posted. I will instead do what I'm good at... a little levity

All the beer was drank, good work people!

Last day riding Chattanooga without a shirt, and it was delightful!


Big thanks to John & Jason for all the hard work. Thanks to all the sponsors and especially Lisa and Clem with Venture, BTW the Odin is sick! Thanks to everyone who showed up, great people great vibe. I hope to you all next year!

Salud! Pedro

Are you serious? We actually drank all that beer? I thought there was no way. I'm impressed! Nice work, all.

Don't forget the Ouray brewery mini-kegs we drank too, and I also polished off a bottle of scotch...
