we accompanied kyle miller and his friend jake hase, videographer for crystal mtn resort, and filmed as they climbed the fly yesterday ... right now all i have to show are these photos of mine .. maybe kyle will add to the thread regarding conditions when he returns fm his latest great adventure today .. anyhow lane looked pretty grueling imo (waist deep bootpacking) ... but totally awesome too ..

i think this might be one of my all time faves ..

Kath, Great set of images , especially the last one. WOW  Glad to see you are in the mountains.

Hey Kath,  Nice to meet you guys yesterday.  I really enjoyed your pictures!  I hope we get a chance to see the video someday soon.

Kath, that is one prize-winning all-time best amazing photo! It deserves to be poster-size on the wall to keep the mountain motivation dreams flowing.

Outstanding photos Kath!  :D
Kyle and Jake, outstanding effort!  ;)

I agree that photo (and others on the link) is amazing. That was some of the harder bootpacking I encountered this season, waist deep the whole way up.

It was my first time on Lane but I had drooled at the line for years.

Thank you for a memorable experience.

thx everyone for the kind words  ... this photo was just dumb luck .. right place right time ..

and kyle .. awesome day .. thx for putting up with us .. you're a real gem

zap .. we aren't getting out on skis though  :'(




I do love that picture and the others are great as well. I look forward to seeing the footage as well.

Kath....

Very nice photos!

love the perspective you have there.  Wish more photographers would work on postioning themselves like that instead of traveling with their subjects for the close up action shots.
