QUOTE=skifishbum;3111081]Headed out millie gate to figure 8. while digging a pit at top a exum or uma guide and legend in his own mind blew by and guinnie pig it for us I'm bummed I missed the figure 8 hop turn skiing of stupid chute:biggrin:
Still had a bit of the wrong side up don't sink the tips density.
Skinned up to tlp to ski a shot off the ridge. A few collapsed in flats.
Noticed a couple dudes doing the alta sidestep below so we broke out the choc expresso beans tea and discussed saftey waiting for them to clear
Got to say was pretty surprised to see them bootering straight up the shot.
I kind of feel bad for making fun of what turned out to be a a spansered rock star, but fuck it I'm just a middle aged ski bum what do I know, but says somethin when the president of local sar is standing next to ya laughing too:fm:
I'm not gonna arm chair qb just write it off to a higher tolerance for risk bigger balls and perhaps a faith in a higher power:wink:
and a mofoing green light on stability of that slope.
Skied well better than fig8 I thought
