Took a film crew from a Denver TV station up the North Basin of the Ridge yesterday. It was the first tour of the season on Chicago Ridge, so everything was bottomless and totally uncompacted. Instead of grabbing a pair of fatties from the rental shop, I (in my ever-present bump skier pride) decided to ride my 66-waist Hart F17 WCs. Found some nice 36"+ areas. Got a little too forward and took a huge dive and double-ejected. Good times! Might even air on TV, though the camera lens fogged up just before it happened. But WOW... that was an epic run!
