DT - Cornice Karate Chop

421

... Daryl Treadway and I went out yesterday for a quick morning alpine mission..  There was some good snow, but it is spring out there.  A bit wind slabby, and cornices are hanging very precariously, and in some cases falling off, and making alot of noise when they do.

always glorious , in the morning light

a little hole... 

radical rollover.. 

Daryl Treadway.. only action photo, in focus... email me, if you want to see some blurred ones.

Gets full sun, this time of year.. Fun for shred, but it nukes the pow pretty quick.

deep like pow

Ian Millar is still crushing pow in Japan!

sun+pow = good times

more gorb-pro action

Day 1... a 5 am start, greeted Daryl and I with milkbird skies.  We waited it out, and luckily it burned off around 9 am.  We tested the waters, and found the snow to be deep and stable.  It felt weird to shred in the sun .      Daryl Treadway photo.

not a bad warm up run.

Sunrise is a good time to be in the mountains. 

I got my gorb-pro on, I got a stick of juicy fruit.   Daryl Treadway photo.

I think about this line alot... the rollover is one of the gnarliest around.

See what I mean by gnarly rollover

Keeping with the theme of gnarly convex rollovers... Dave Basterrechea shreds the big dick.

It was a bit of a pepper dance, but DB slayed it.

Captain D. Ballsac gets in on the action.  Pretty nice birthday line!

Cornices have built up, but there are still some sneaky ways in. We sawed one off in the foreground , and did a mini rappel in.    Daryl Treadway photo.

It's bubbly in there.    Daryl Treadway photo.

A sweet edit, of Daryl Treadway, crushing some pow lines. We had two days of near perfect conditons and sun.
