I like it! I'd always heard that run off Red 3 called the "Hollywood Shot", but either way, it's a super fun line.
Cool lines; great photos. Thanks for posting!
I'd also considered the Slot as a destination for today. Thanks for confirming that sleeping in was the right choice!
Sweet TR; glad you got after it, Amar! The touring was lovely in Wallingford even as late as midnight.
Hell yeah! Such a cool route; I'm psyched for you both. Strong work, Jessie and Ryan!
HUDGE THANKS TO AMAR AND JAMES FOR POLICING TAY TRIP REPORTS SO EVERYONE'S ARMCHAIR SKIING EXPERIENCE IS THAT MUCH SAFER!
cumulus, where are the photos of you?? From what I could tell, you were the steeziest one on the mountain.Hannah
Long live the mountain peacock!
Yeah, I skied it yesterday and was blown away by how good it was. Compared to Amar's photos, the summit dome was smoother; there was much more exposed rock at the top of the Roman Wall; the lower...
Rad sweater.
Oh man, I was feeling so over skiing before this trip; it was exactly what I needed to fix my attitude. Thanks for a great day, Amar.
Nice work, 'A' team

I adore this photo!
Wow! Almost rad!
Cool ski route, eh?Altasnob's pictures put things in perspective.
Name-dropper.
Thanks for speaking for me, Amar.That afternoon when I finally reached Point Success, I could see faint tracks that seemed to indicate Amar's changeover from uphill to downhill mode. My assumptio...
I'm just pissed that Amar got to ski the Thumb and I didn't! ;)Hannah
Thanks for the tip, powdrx - the Slot was Hot today. Totally filled in, the face shots were so great I had to do it twice.

It was great to finally meet the crew and ski a bit of new (to me) terrain. By the looks of your photos, the snow did indeed get better - hurray! I'm still happy with the decision Amar and I made...

You call that thing a glacier?
Hannah put it this way, "That was one of the most horrific things I have ever witnessed."Just to clarify, it was THE most horrific thing I've ever witnessed, and Seth agreed. Seeing those gu...
I was somewhat concerned that the snow on this portion, which hadn't even given me pause on the ascent, was not holding an edge nearly as well as I'd hoped. Every turn ended with several feet of...
