Haines, AK Day # 5


If you come up to Haines you will meet Al, I have all the faith in his flying abilities and he is a solid guy. Game on, 3-4" of snow in town and blowing up on the mountain. Altough today was a littly windy the sky was Bluebird. We skied with Steve and Beth from Taos again and they were ripping as usal. Lots of fresh snow ment lots of Avalances. 2 people were completely barried today with another company. We watch 2 people from another group get caught in about 1000-1500 foot slide, both ok but took a long "swim"


Michael from BC, not Beaver Creek ripping down the bowl, look at the slide he barely escpated. Riding here is the real deal, if you are not paying attention it can end quick. Lots of people are solid riders but this place makes you think and ride. What would you do if this slide was chasing you??

They let me take first run down T-Top.. Wow, Wow Wow wait till the photos and videos come back from that one...I am having so much fun here, all the film crews are here TGR, Absinthe Films, Match Stick, Standard Films, cant wait to see next years movies and see this amazing Haines session! Did I mention we wear climbing harnesses when we ride incase we fall in a cravase? Now how often do you think about that in Colorado.. Real Riding, and to think of all the Bros back home that passed on this trip.. Ha Ha, To Funny I am here and I aint even sponsored???????? Hmmm Keep riding the Park everyone, leaves the goods for real pow riders...
