  MORE PICS FROM ALASKA, 4-. -0. 2006, 23: 0

yeeah! mitch and me had 2 great days of riding. We had do do shorter runs -up to 300 m vertical drop-, because the avalanche danger is higher than usually in the chugach this year. the snow was great though, and we did some very nice lines. on the second day i took a big drop over an icewall, but there was so much snow in the air below me that i couldn`t see the landing any more and came down very hard on my back and knees. my body feels pretty beat up at the moment, so i am probably the only one here at points north ( www.alaskaheliski.com ) who is happy about some days of the raining and snowing we have now. i hope to be back in shape when the sun comes back!

 

so here are new pictures:

 

 

0 - cordova cannot be reached by road, and the locals are proud of that.

 

 

 

1 - warmup run of the day

 

 

2 – checking out some steeper stuff

 

3 – dropping an icewall and looking for a landing... (aua)

 

 

4 – eagles are everywhere and cool to watch

 

 

5 – a footie match waiting for the helicopter 

 

 

6 – mitch chases his sluff, or is the sluff chasing him?

 

 

7 – mitch catching air on the icewall

 

 

8 – mitch dropping into "test monkey" ... 

 

9 - and charging it!

 

10 – we left our signatures on that face: mitch`s track on the right,  my track on the left!

 

 

11 - magic northern lights at night.

 

 

that`s it! more news will follow after the rain has stopped and we went out again, looking for unridden faces. right now it´s time for the bar:

saturday night!

have a good one,

flo
