Its likely over at 2000ft. At 3500-6000ft it will come back. Sled decks, pavement, gravel, mud and tight spots.

Its all part of the fun.

 

[WaBackcountry]

Get high and you'll have fun

 

[2Thetopp]

Oh you were High enough, any higher we'd have to take you in for treatment.

 

[snowboarder2359]

how big was that avy field to the left of that sled? Knarly looking!

Big enough to kill you.

 

[Troy Magrum]

So was your location a secret?
Where is this. Not anywhere that I have been?

 

[2Thetopp]

Washington Pass, Liberty Bell, Early Winter Spires, not a secret, but you gotta do a little work to get there. First time we've been there, you just have to be adventurous, lots of riding if you explore.

 

[wanderingleif]

Can't blame a guy for tryin, where to next? Clocks ticking!

Winter may be over but spring has just started, some of the best riding still to come. Looks like we're Baker bound for some sunshine and fresh, as soon as there's some fresh followed by sunshine. My record is July 21st, I'll be happy to make it to May 21st.

That's pretty good, my record is July 2nd... we'll be lucky to make it into June this year with the way things are going though Heck late May will be an accomplishment.

 

[Troy Magrum]

might be able to stretch into July if you cross the boarder and head to whistler etc. One of my most memoral trips in a good way

 

[Matte Murder]

That avy was massive. Big heavy wet snow like that will tear a guy apart. Were you riding a slope next to it?

 

[2Thetopp]

I'm the guy sitting on the trail with the camera, "Momma didn't born no dummy" I've been in an avy, got my once, that's good enough for me. Most of the slides we came across that day were rock hard and had been there for a few days, but hey if someone wants to tempt fate and ride next to a slide old or not, have at it I could use the beacon practice. here's a shot from where I was, engine idiling.

The next two chutes to the left had also slid.
