back country telemark skiing...

yes i love life, i love to live and to learn and to breath, (but not breathing in negative temperatures) today it was -7 when i got up, but who is complaining with this kind of view. also the whole in my wall that was letting a gush, yes a GUSH of cold air, got fixed today so hopefully that will make my life a little more comfy indoors.

so jawn and i headed out to back country ski what is known as the "community run" (yes this was the view heading into it. BEAUTY i know.
me... you can't really tell from the pictures but the slope angle is: at top 35 and down to about 29 at the low angle. we had a great time playing around in the snow. we talked a lot about avalanche travel and discussed some of the things that we learned in our avi class.
this is my favorite picture of the day of me. the snow was great considering we haven't had any new snow in over two weeks. gnar, gnar, sicki, sicki, pow, pow!
loving it
a few of our tracks, nice to have untouched POW!
jawn, he is just learning and doing an AMAZING JOB! (he dose like to have those hands high though)
jawn, actually looks like he is skiing on one ski.
and my favorite picture of jawn. i did a fair amount of crashing as well.

we also took some videos of us, but i don't know how to post them (im lucky to get a picture on the blog)
our skin out. its actually 4 degrees right now. my LUNGS HURT!

well i love and miss you all. COME PLAY WITH ME!
