Got a last minute reprieve from work on Saturday and gave Aaron (aksltxt) a call. It was bluebird, something resembling powder, and the new snow was stabilizing, so I figured he had something good planned. Turns out a car shuttle to hit a few zones off Echo Summit was on the menu and Aaron was kind enough to let me tag along.

The pit results may have been good but Aaron still has a good grip on the granite.


Scoping the zone. Echo lake in the background.


Chris lines up and drops a rock just below the ridgeline.








Kelly makes some soul turns




Then Aaron hits it with a little rock ride variation.








Aaron riding a techy little rollover further down on our 2nd lap.


Kelly stomping a landing in some good snow.


Chris follows and airs it out.


Aaron booting up to the ridge for our last lap after skinning across a frozen Echo Lake. Crystal Range in the background. It was about 12:00 now and getting hot.



No pics from the final descent because I was too busy blasting through surprisingly well preserved pow. After a little bushwhacking and wondering where exactly we were, we made our way back to my jeep. Turns out that my cargo box fits 4 splits and a solid. Not bad.

Great day. And finally getting my riding legs under me so now let's see some more snow.

Good stuff!

Very nice... thanks for the stoke!

Nice pics Isaac, Love the Echo Lake zone, and that pow off flagpole was "the goods"

Echo zone pics on the day of the splitfest!
