Had to resort to mucking around on the glacier last weekend. Speed runs and the smallest "backcountry run" ever recorded. Good times tho.

Ice climbing (where's waldo?)

we had it out that day but the wind was too light. this kite likes to fold up and invert itself in any drop in the wind, thus leading to an untangling session. we're learning pretty quickly what the proper wind range is for it tho!

i'm all set to give it a go with the board. as soon as this darn powder* lets up and we get back to crap conditions i'll get right on it! ;)

* see other post :D

Yep, nice photos... Can't wait to see your report from Swallowmania and other trips. Like E said, someday I'll get there for that...

In the meantime there's no moisture in the foreseeable future in Tahoe.. oh well.. Guess we kinda shot our wad earlier this month...

i think that wad is now hitting the alps! :D

swallowmania is gonna be SWEET! a week ago i had given up hope in bringing the swallowtail. now it may be the only board i ride. WOOOOOOOHOOO!
