I thought all you blogsters would enjoy seeing our Raspberry trip through the glass of a pro. So here we go with part two. Michael Kennedy whipped these out and got ’em to us late yesterday.

| Louie. He’s on original model BD Verdicts. |

| Lou and Louie headed up. |
 |
| Yours truly near the summit of Raspberry. Sometimes he regresses to old school knee knocking. |
 |
| I cloned myself for this shot. Photographers always appreciate that. |
 |
| Louie and I almost never get to simul-ski. We were standing at the top of the low angled portion and I said to Louie, “Hey, lets ski side-by-side like some old heli-ski movie.” Fun. |
 |
| Me again. Check out those Manaslu slow rise tips. Sometimes you can feel the big tips out there getting pushed around by the snow, but usually they work perfect and give you a solid ride. |
 |
| Louie cranks out a few more turns. |
 |
| Two generations. |
