Nice write up, even better pics! ;-)

WTF. You went back to our evil nemesis without me? I see that, because I wasn't there, the sliding was excellent.

BTW, you should tell you goofy friend there carrying his board sideways makes it tough to hike through tight trees...

Never having earned my turns, I'm no expert... but I did wonder why he would do so as well.

Nice pictorial!

That's the way some packs are designed, like the Dakine Heli Pro.. I could never figure out why one would want to carry it that way though..

That's my old pack. The bottom buckles for the snowboard carry always annoyed me so I just ripped them out one day figuring that I would never need it. I still have the buckles but they were in Lowell and I was in Lynn. So that is reason for the awkward sideways carry.

Is this the kid that gave up 200 vertical feet up Mt Ellen?

Very sick photos. Looks like good fun.

Nope. He will never hike again. That was my cousin who actually enjoys hiking and probably come touring with me a few more times this season.

Can we berate him for carrying his board sideways even though it's really your fault?

Of course. Also you berate him for not bringing a pair of poles for snow shoeing even though he doesn't own any. Skinning without poles is the new snow blading. So extreme...
