Nice to see that Jaime is still as I left him. Hey Jimbo, what’s up? Do you ever miss the Toot? Drop me an email if you want, droidmon@yahoo.com

Wow, thanks for sharing; we are soul brothers guys. Perhaps I should move out there.
“work together like family to make sure the lines are getting skied/controlled through the storm cycles.”
What a beautiful concept! I used to do that by myself with my favorite shots on Mt. Superior, starting early season; The Lane (aka Suicide chute), then Dead Tree chute, the Invisible (aka Pinball Alley – always self-belayed at the top), the W; but never had the crew (aside from Dan Caruso back in the early 90s); usually got a lecture that I shouldn’t tour solo; until I preferred going out on low vis days, so noone would see.
Now I’m up near Snowbasin, which just doesn’t have the steep lines like Mt. Superior/Little Cottonwood, Telluride, or Aspen backcountry, although they DO have a backcountry gate that is open every day of the season. Mt Odgen is fun, but its comparatively short; just right for “getting back in shape” though.
And it IS the church of the wilderness, some mantras and Oms at the top of the chute, arms open; thank you, thank you, thank you for this life, this perfect moment!!!

Boys and Girls,
This is why we live in the moutains. This kind of
winter we are having brings out the serious ski
bum in all of us. I will be skiing till all the snow is
gone and that won’t be till end of July. Then there
is always South America.
