I saw this today at the MW avalanche site, pretty cool. Did not know how to embed it since it was .mp4 so I am not sure if this will work, I hosted it on my site.

You will need to open it to view it, pretty awesome line if I say so myself.

Original site:

http://www.mountwashingtonavalanchecenter.org/search-rescue/incidents-accidents/2013-2014-summaries/#TB_inline?&width=640&height=640&inlineId=video_wrapper_3e31f8e9b59e0e31ca139bfbf1c41961

Half way down on the right side bar is the original.


EDIT: mods if you can convert and embed thanks.

Well that is one way to make sure you don't start an avalanche. Seems like an awful lot of work to get to the top of the bowl only to straight-line it in 10 seconds.

If you watch the GoPro, you'll see it's all for the best - dudez couldn't carve a turn if they tried! :uzi:

I obviously meant the steep part. You can carve all you want on the runout.

I agree it was good skiing, The guy in my vid carved the whole thing and damn near off the edge of the blowout. He was flying ,too fast for me. I've never seen anyone ski it the way he did. I would like to take it slower , lots of effort into earning those turns.

Have you ever skied Tuck ? This is pretty good skiing actually. You don't carve turns on the headwall.

No. Do you take every comment you read on the internet seriously? Maybe I didn't throw in enough exclamation points and whimsical icons for you.
