Blue skies, sunshine, and deep pow. That was today's conditions at the bird. Absolutely awesome.

Me.


Dan.


LCC in all her glory.


Mineral Basin waiting game.


I managed to find some powder.


Dan headed in a more vertical direction.


It was time to make some bad decisions with Dan as a test dummy.
Me sending a cliff in Mineral Basin whose takeoff redefined sketchy.


Dan showing off.


Dan impersonating distance ski jumpers in the Rasta Chutes.


Me forgetting to untie my arms from the trees behind me in Rasta Chutes.


All in all an awesome day.

GREAT stuff and love the Zepplin!!!

Seems like the storms just keep going around Tahoe in favor of Utah.
Nice to see you guys making the most of it, but I'm definitely feeling jealous.
