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.

Nice, looks awesome up there.

A word of caution. Mini-chamonix ( my name for those lines under the baldy X) is rocky as shit. One of the rockiest places on the hill. if you probed that 1st landing more power to you, but that place is sketch. Rock are hit in there with well over a 100" base.

not trying to rain on your parade! Looks like a ton of fun.

be safe....

The mineral basin shots were above the last band of cliffs in the cham chutes right before it funnels into the mogul field under the lift at the very bottom.

Is this the same place your referring to?

Also, 150+ views with 1 response? what's with the lurker factor?

No actually.. my bad.

The 'real' Chamonix chutes are located on the south side of Baldy... as you are hiking to baldy summit via snowbird.
Hence.. mini Chamonix.. right under baldy express... that's what I call it anyway.

I looked at the photos wrong... but ... rocky under the bottom of mbx too. I mean it's rocky everywhere at the bird, but that place is kinda notorious.

Awesome TR. Sweet videos on your site.

[motionboy]

Hey guys I saw you dropping that stuff from the line and thought to myself what are those fools doing. There was bigger safer stuff elsewhere on the mountain that no one had touched today. Be careful out there and spend some time learning the mountain we don't need any hurt maggs. Geez that makes me sound like a damn know-it-all.... and really I am just as guilty.

Nice pics.


Might want to crank your Markers up to 30 though.....flip-flops

[dookeyXXX]

sweet pix.

cameraman needs to learn to follow the action on the videos, though. missed the landings and run-outs on most of 'em!



way to get after it early season, but yeah play it safe.

Hehe, I don't rock markers, rossi px14tis. Dan uses some markers though, he tore the toe piece out of his ski a couple days ago, one of the best crashes I've ever seen, he ski must have gone up 10'! It was right under the gad2 chair too

[backcountryben]

nice pics, makes me jealous especially after the rainstorm the east coast just got yesterday...

but i don't want to hear about sketchy take-offs, come try hucking the east coast sometime

[DonDenver]

Nice. What’s the still/vid cam you are using?

[PowTron]

The windows on your car must be really large, as you were rolling them up all day...














nice pics, though!

[Huckin eh?]

Sweet!
Now even though some here want to criticize the cinematography, I wish my buddy was at least half as good as that with a camera.

[kush1]

I am pretty sure when you sat down at the picnic table next to me yesterday you rolled the windows down then too..... strong showing

[bennerlur]

i have the luxury of not seeing the bad landings due to dial up....so ill just assume you stomped all that shit and everyone on the chair saw.
sick stuff

[brutah]

hey jake

why did you delete your thread with those gnarly pics from this weekend??? You know the one where you were begging for replies? Crying that no one was commenting about your radness and then getting your panties in a bunch when people started to call you a beater..... what happened to it? it was titled the daily grind
