Amazing photos, Austin. Awesome. Those undercast shots are unreal. I can't imagine what it was like. This one in particular is almost dizzying and it's hard to capture depth like that in a 2D photo. Well done:

Sucky, and pretty sketchy when the track got higher than about 5 feet of the ground. If you fall your skis just catch you between the ties, then you just can just pull yourself back up. I did get kind of freaked a few times and had to walk/crawl with my hands on the tracks. Better than off the tracks where you had to deal with piles of random shit (railroad ties, wires, sharp rocks, etc.) that was covered with a foot of snow so you had no idea what you were going to step on. Going up wasn't that bad... going down it was another story.

While looking at your photos, my first thought was "why the heck didn't I think of that." About halfway through looking at your photos I started thinking "that's right, how the hell would you get down!?" :lol:

Nicely done.
