We went for a walk today here in Arizona

LOVE this shot!

Here is one more from the other day. This is looking down the last pitch towards the exit of The Skinny Beast. It's a steep double fall line in here, probably close to 50 and the exit had a 10 foot straight line with a huge gaping hole against the rocks on the left. That last bit is probably 55 to 60 degrees.

Wow,lots of justice in that shot.
Thanks.

GEEZUS! That looks like a friggin bowling alley

I went out on a solo mission yesterday to harvest some mid-winter corn snow on a new line (for me).

Looking back at the area from my skin track.


The objective was the line that runs from the upper left hand corner and down to the center of the photo. It starts out on a thin hanging snowfield that rolls away into the exposure below. About half way down it pinches off into a couloir and gets very steep. the exit on most years is a mandatory drop but yesterday it had a 2 foot wide straight line ramp on the skiers left side. It was very exciting!


This is the Middle Heck No shot and it's looking sexy as ever. I really wanted to drop into this but I forced myself to move further up the ridge to my objective. This has just been added to my short list. The entrance is wicked steep. there is an exit skiers right into the South Heck No just above the last rock outcropping in the center. I've always overlooked this line for the more obvious ones on either side.


Rustler Peak North had some nice looking cream on it.

Just Wow

Thanks Jason Wx, we are having an excellent season here.

A top 5 day out on Core Ridge today!

Jeez that looks awesome

It really was Brownski, today's tour was like having a talk with the gods.

Incredible shots, RA.  Just awesome!

Thanks mang!

This winter just won't quit! We are getting stormed again right now and another one is lined up for later in the week. The touring is the best it's been in 12 years.

This past Monday was spectacular.

That's it, I'm moving to Arizona. Great shots to see as our lovely snow is dissolving by the second.

RA, keepin' the stoke alive.

Wow RA! The composition of all of your photos is awesome.   I always meant to ask... what type of camera are you using to capture these wonderful shots?

Thanks DomB. It's starting to snow again and we could get up to two feet up high by Wednesday morning. I'll report back with updates as things progress. :)

Thanks for sharing this stuff RA

It's cool you take the time to do so

Thanks Camp, it's fun, I like photos and skiing.

With 21 inches of new yesterday school was canceled so Codes and I got after some side country freshies in the lower angled trees of Seven Meadows.



It's deep up there. That's 109 inches of natural unsettled base!
