Burke 3-8 a couple pics

[snoseek]

Drove over from Loaf/Saddleback last night in search of drier snow. Burke was definately a good call.

Arrived early and got right in the trees. It's been many years since I've been to Burke, It's just as fun as I recall. Out of dumb luck met up with skifaster and skied all day from 11 or so on. This guy is a fucking animal in the trees, very fast and direct. Shortly after meeting up I took a very scary crash in the woods. It spooked me and I lost a pole to boot. Skied a few more with one pole and decided to rent some for the day.

As the day wore on I felt like the sun maybe made the snow slightly heavier but it remained dry. Perhaps it was just my legs after skiing two deep days in a row. The weather was just about perfect, reminded me of a sunny day back in Colorado. I am very happy about making the decision to go over to Burke, I totally understand what brings you regulars back!

Some pics-

Skifaster in the power lines:

Trees=covered deep:

A fun little air I went back to a couple times:

my pics kinda don't do skifaster justice but you'll have to trust me on this one:

Glad I got Burke done while back here this winter. Need to get up in the summer for that delicious MTB:beer:

It was a bitch dialing in my shitty little camera to snap a pick.

I'd like to send out a big ol F&^ck you to the meth heads that stole my nice camera last summer!

Snoseek - Great skiing with you today! And thanks for the props dude, but like I said, I cheat by skiing on too-short of skis

As for my screenname, "skifastr" is an aspiration, not a pretense

Crap, I don't know how to get the pics inlaid in the message...

Snoseek, is that you in the red and black in skifastr's pics? If so I actually ended up shooting some video of you yesterday. I stopped on Lew's waiting for my wife. I looked back up and watched you dropping in a nice untouched slot on skier's right. I forgot that the head cam was on and running. I was snowboarding wearing a camo(ish) colored jacket do you recall that? I haven't gone though all the footage yet but I'll see if I can post that.

Yeah I recall that, I do have red pants, wow we could have had an AZ posse!

Alright, here's some classic shaky POV. I'd normally get into editing a bit before posting this type of thing. But it's a good quick look at the conditions and features an unexpected cameo of Snoseek....
