OMG ROFL SNOWING in Cali….

Date:

April 21st, 2010

Location: Kirkwood, CA (ride a chairlift before it closes in two days!)

Weather: 25F & SNOW…500 inches of thumpin’ DEEP BASS!

Skiers:

Skier666, JMetzler, Skiin’ Ian, and CLACK!

Cameramen:

666, JMetzler, & Skiin’ Ian…

POV VIDEO – Meow…its better than I thought.

Music: LTJ Bukem – ‘Atlantis’

Synopsis:

Take a day off of work, ski deep untracked pow all day, and then go home to fall asleep. Using three different skis from my own collection on a powder day was also a first.

Java Porn: Plenta size for me thanks…..

TR Begins Now:

Sunday afternoon, the family and I hit the beach….

No fog, warm temps…it must be SPRING!

Its 4:45am…what are you doing?

After picking up the conversationalists to join me on my journey, we hit snow at 3,000 feet….

At 7,000 feet it started to look like Xmas…

I wonder if the Spur will ever melt?

OH MY! New Kingswoods? Holy Shit! The Rockertype is one kickass fat ski!

C L A C K….

666…say what?

CLACK knows what days to show up…

Hmmm, I see a pole….

First tracks on Upper Cham…

Clack gets sloppy seconds…

JMetzler is the final in the threesome…

JMetzler had a really great day…

Ah…yep….

Ahem….

Back over to Palisades…

Yep, Clack bonked his body and my new skis down that thing….

Then, Skiin’ Ian magically appeared…

JMetzler has style…

…but that damn snow got in the way.

We headed over to lower Thunder Saddle….

Skiin’ Ian approves…

Where is everyone?

JMetzler in Sisters Chute…

Glaciated up top, fluffy at the bottom….

Skiin’ Ian gets steep….


Wrong camera setting yet right slope, angle, pov, etc….oh well…..

Ok, getting a little boring now…

Really? Aren’t there any moguls?

Skiin Ian….skiin’…

Oooooooooooh Yeah!

Ian and I did a quick skin up to the skier’s right of the Spur for a glory run…

POW POW…

MORE POW POW…

MORE POW POW POW…

MORE POW POW POW POW…

666 searches for ice….

Ian finds soft snow….

OH MY!

50 miles later, it looked like this…

Getting closer….

The day trippin’ driver….

Ahhhhh, made it home safely…..

MEOW MEOW…(watch the POV?)
