tazz Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Trip: Enchantments, Dragontail and ski porn - Date: 5/23/2009Trip Report:What a awesome weekend to play in the mountains! Lots of folks up in the Enchantments this weekend. I was there 2 years ago on Memorial day and only a handful of folks in the area. Not this weekend! The place was crawling with folks.Snow is perfect in the morning but by afternoon the postholing will happen without snowshoes or skis. I only used my snow shoes on the lake. Steps are kicked in up Aasgard and was an easy ascent. Great glissade path set in the bottom half of Aasgard. It goes all the way to the lake. Weeeeeee! Colchuck Lake may still be frozen enough to ski the edge for another week(maybe?) but is melting fast! I spent a day hiking scrambling around filming my partners skiing. It was ski heaven up there all weekend I suck at filming but I had a blast doing it! Here is the result... [video:vimeo] Enchantments Ski Tour from anne arnoldy on Vimeo. It was such a great weekend with awesome partners. Here is some of the fun we had and beauty we witnessed. Lots of pics... Quote
mountainmatt Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Sweet! Looks like you guys had a great time up there. Thanks for all the shots of the conditions on various peaks Quote
Clarence Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Nice video! It was good to meet you guys up there. I'm the guy you dubbed "fast-skinning-guy". A good weekend indeed, with perfect weather. Here are some of my pictures from the weekend: http://picasaweb.google.com/petey5287/EnchatmentsSkiTrip5232509# Quote
tazz Posted May 31, 2009 Author Posted May 31, 2009 (edited) Hey! Thanks for the link to your pics! haha! Yes great meeting you, so to speak. You have that name for a reason ya know! You are fast!Plus, you are a kick ass skier. I watched you two all day Sunday along while keeping tabs on all the skiers out there. Your style and experience makes easy on the eyes to watch and film. Almost pretty...yup I have a video of you. You are ripping down dragontail glacier. Your partner is in the last half. Unfortunately he took too long to drop in and my card ran out! So i hope you don't mind but figure you would want to see it. I put it to music as all the sound was wind, my partners yacking in the background and my breathing! Yuck! [video:vimeo] fast skinning guy from anne arnoldy on Vimeo. I also took a couple of pics... You can't be a climber/skier in a beautiful place, and sit in good lighting near my camp,in front of me! I am gonna shoot ya! It's a bad habit. I am glad you posted so I could get these to ya. :tup:What a great weekend to kick of the spring/summer season! Edited May 31, 2009 by tazz Quote
Clarence Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Hey tazz, Thanks for the video! I can't blame you for taking pictures with light like that...I wish I had taken more. Hopefully we'll bump into each other again out there. Quote
