So that doesn't really count. Edited by TeleRoss (04/07/06 04:13 PM) _________________________ "Don't look and you will see, don't listen and you will hear."

Being that he's an avid AT skier the only question he had was how you passed the runnels. Cheers on a bitchin' descent. _________________________ Weekday Sprayer

The first time would have been a breeze (in a very very relative sense) compared to the second time. The second time you definitely would never have caught me in there with skis, and it would have been scary as hell, at least to me.

It is only moderately steep, but it is severely exposed for most of the 2,200 and some odd vertical feet. Kinda like free soloing 5.9 or something....feels nice and easy...just don't blow it. _________________________ "Don't look and you will see, don't listen and you will hear."

jeffh journeyman Registered: 02/17/04 Posts: 53 TRs: 0 Photos: 12 Loc: SW Washington	Excellent trip report and congrats on a great ski descent. Continued to be impressed at some of the lines being done. One aspect that truely amazes me, is that many trips are done in a single push. For me, even if the skiing in your opinion is "not that hard", my legs would be tired which would make the exposure that much more intense. Cheers.
