2/3/14

The single best backcountry splitboard day I have had at Stevens Pass. Cold, blower, stable snow, light to moderate wind, good friends Chris Petry and Joey T to share the day with me.

• Run 1: Up Skyline to Middle Triple
• Run 2: Up Heather Ridge to summit off backside to Angry Face
• Run 3: Back up to the summit off Frontside to incredible pillow run down Happy Face
• Run 4: Back up to the summit, traverse tech ridge to the best line i've ridden at Stevens AK47/RK47/Squirrel Tree, so sick, got to lay first tracks down this best and stomped it. Been looking at this one since I moved east 6 years ago
• Run 5: down the valley in split-ski mode to Lichtenberg, up west face to summit to false summit, shredded the South Face in good pow to the valley floor in the twilight, won't forget that day for quite a while.

• Ski Front and Sidecountry all day
• One hour Hard Bouldering (felt poor, the dreaded cold came on)..
