These are some new friends I put up on a secret glacier in the Chugach Mountains. They were in for 8 days and received nearly a foot of fresh powder during their stay. They did a good job of tracking things up, and I was pretty jealous, scroll down through the pictures and you will see why. They said their biggest problem during the week was keeping their beer from freezing … now that’s a good week.
Ross can shred the backcountry but struggles slightly with the athleticism and coordination of the can-can.
Looking up glacier towards the landing sight.
The snow was soft and fluffy, the sun was blinding, the terrain was steep, and the view was so-so … but other than that it was awesome.
The landing light blaring is always a good indication of a pilot who left the master switch on, but never mind that because the view is great.

I checked on them mid-week and the light was a tad flat, but the fresh snow sure was nice.
