Rock Sliding


Last Saturday JP(Stoermer) and I when powder scrounging up by Radiobeacon, a popular spring ski with late-season powder stashes. This area during March-June is heavenly, with untouched powder run after untouched powder run, but in October it’s mostly rock! We ended up getting a few turns never the less. We had to be careful not to carve to deep to avoid cutting through the snow and into the mountain.
We thoroughly enjoyed the day scouting the surrounding peaks walking the ridge line. This picture is from on top of Radiobeacon looking south west towards Berthoud pass.

JP had a term for this kind of bush whacking, he called it “Shwacking”. Using the alternative definition:
SCHWACKING - the sound made while ripping lines through deep powder and trees braches
also - can be used to define a bullshit bushwhack.

JP’s Blog of the day. (His blogs kick my blog’s ass.)
