Last chance tries are always the best

Everyone gives you weird looks when you carry ski gear on July 10th

Skinny Love

Jake — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 05:47:25 +0000

Baldy Main Chute has become a bit of a deranged summer addiction of mine ever since moving to Utah. This was my 3rd consecutive summer hiking up and skiing the couloir and probably the most nervous I’ve been doing it. My ski boot did not go on without a fight and I was definitely able to feel it pushing into the lump where my normal-sized ankle used to be.
But alas! Everyday brings 90+ degree temperatures in salt lake valley and more snow meltage as a result. My skinny love waits for no one (or no injury as the case may be)…

I asked if I could get a copy and frame it as my ‘certification of awesomeness’,
but I just got strange looks.
Summer lifties can be so weird…

Shit Show.

Rabbit Hole.

Butterflies.

I should’ve shaved before trying to hitchhike.

One day I’m going to release a rap album (and accompanying movie) called ’6 Mile’ (distance up LCC to Snowbird, Lot A). This photo will be the cover.

Rest assured I captured enough helmet cam footage to do this July outing justice and I’ll be editing it together as soon as my ankle stops expanding from being forced into heat molded ski boot liners.

You’re Never Over.

Another 600″+. Another 100+ days. And Snowbird is calling this the end of the 09/10 season.
So I guess that’s that, right? WRONG.

It’s not over until every last inch of snow melts out of Baldy Main and I am not longer able to get a dune buggy ride off the mountain.

You never really have to go through the five steps if you just stay on denial.

Pics from last weekend:

Check out my sweet pizza wedge…and jeff in the background rocking a speedo…

Corn Harvest.

Sweaty Tram Antics.

JP and I sending in the slush.

I go for some Silver Fox pond skimming!

A crying shame.
