Supu is back for another year…

Zippy throws them sideways…

Supu rather be surfing…apparently….

So technical…so cute…

666 had a good time…

666 goes under the pow knife…

Supu was pure gold on this day….

666 in the white room…

Zippy should be skiing the hippy pow….

Tyrone must be a hippy…

The storm has finally cleared….

Tallac looking better….

Golden forest on HWY 89…

Round Top looking chilly….

Yep, we made that…a great team effort…Supu need not apply…

Slim on not so slim sticks….

A much nicer day, don’t you think?

Outer Palisades, no tracks, blue skies….

Supu doing his Tiger Woods impression…

Slim into tracklessness…

Supu yet again….

Supu needs a snorkel….

Zippy killing it….

Evil Sentinel….

Time to depart and head West to return to the real world…

This was my delicious food for the next 3 hours…

My ‘winter trees on a rolling pasture going 90mph’ shot…

    Really good stuff. Looks like Warren Miller stills taken from an Alaskan Heli trip. Many kudos to the photographer and all the riders. Kirkwood rules…
