The storms have been raging out here in Washington and shit has been going off. I finally broke down and went to the Crystal on thursday (its been over a month) to get over a foot of fresh in the resort and nipple deep doing a 410 run off the backside best of all it was bluebird.
and now Sunday......
It was a early morning once again as we skinned up the Silver Basin
Hopefully ski patrol doesn't bomb us
Goodbye Silver basin
Hello Crystal Lakes basin
Kill it scott but dont fall cause you may not be able to get up
By far the sickest conditions Ive had on this run
Lets get up this bitch ASAP
Almost at the ridge
I hope I dont slide down this bitch
all is good but it looks like a front is coming in
View from the summit of Crystal Peak
NOOOOOOO how could someone put a skin track up the chute on the north side that should be against the law Looks like were going to have to do this line instead
Riding the ridge to the drop in point
Scott killing the line
Why does the sun have to tease us
This time we are dropping straight down
And it was good
Is the sun going to stay this time
We have to kill that chute
but lets check out this cave first
After a few minutes its time to get on the road
god this looks epic
but it looks even more epic from up here
Dropping
Yes sir may I have another
Sadly its time to leave but we can end it off with Big Bertha which is over 3000 vert of Waist deep all the way down to 410
and were out ( after 6 miles on the closed down highway that I use more in the winter then in the summer)

I generaly enjoy TRs with out having to comment. but this one gets me breathing heavy. I live for days when the pow is blowing over your head and your shreading drainage after drainage. solid effort.
nice & kind! i was getting some of the same over on kendall. i needed sleep so couldn't make it out there for a departure that early. meant leaving the hacienda at 4am. Boohoohoo.
