Best friends Mark and Shun and I decided to rain on Sam's powder parade in Juneau in March and camped on his floore for a week of awesome heli, hut and lift skiing.
Sam warned me that It was super extreme bro bro brah brah in the heli community and that we shouldn't necessarily subscribe to this idea. So I brought a tu tu to keep things lighthearted.
Mark with the TUTU point
Shun ate it on the first day after spending all season training for the trip by partying in LA and surfing. Oops, there goes his ski
Just a couple hundred feet it went down and finally stopped
The adrenalin was so full throttle that at the end of the day everyone was emotionally exhausted
Dancing on top of the world
We even got Kevin the guide in on the fun
Some double chute action
On a down day Sam showed his dominance of the Mendenhall glacier
AWESOME TIME!!!!!!
The day we got off the plane we headed straight for Eagle Crest ski area and hiked up to the large peak in the back. Flat light and swirling wind kept us on edge to drop into the main line off the peak until Shun got enough kahones and dropped in. Eagle Crest in the foreground and taken from the Dan Mohler cabin.
We spent 3 days at the Dan Mohler Forest Service Cabin. Actually the steepest terrain we skied all week. Unreal cabin, situated a 45 minute hike from these spines that Sam is slaying in this picture
Sam gaining the ridge with Juneau in the background with spines and steep below to shred, you can tell by the double thumbs up
The second full day of heli shredding and Mark is full of joy on the way down
The awesome pilot pulled off an amazing tow-in with a couple of feet to spare on each side of the rotors on a cornice above this one, the Davies Creek Coliour. Shun got first dibs, What a lucky SOB!!
He is an ant and he is only halfway down!
Mark got the lucky tu tu again. Look at that grin
The pilot even wanted to get in on the tu tu action!
Nice little cornice drop with some cascading snow
As shun called it "the most eveil looking mountain ever"
The last day Sam, Marrisa and I spent relaxing at Eagle Crest in the sun.
What a trip, couldn't have asked for more.
Thank you Sam and Marrisa for letting us crash on your floor and all the hospitality!
