Did BC have a pretty typical snowpack this year? In Montana is was a lot lower than normal until the end
@extreme_ryan_delena19 күн бұрын
Same thing. We almost canceled due to how low the snow was but they had a couple really good late season storms! I think a few came in as rain down low, hence the dirt walking, despite skiing pow up high

So epic. The White Mountains are truly incredible. Idk if I’ll ever do Damnation Gully but I’ve done Tuckerman and it’s an insane place.
@extreme_ryan_delenaАй бұрын
It’s mega. Tucks still never loses that intimating vibe when you’re in there for the first time of the season! Damnation is a great line and if some day you change your mind, it’ll be there!

@@extreme_ryan_delena That’s what’s great, the mountains are always there. All about skill, that’s it. I’ll do anything, so long as I know I’m able. I snowboard and I’m pretty good, but I’d want to get some more experience in the backcountry first.

Excuse my stupid question (I ski out of PA) but is there any sort of map for this stuff? Or at least some sort of navigation to use to find these trails?
@extreme_ryan_delenaАй бұрын
Check out Fatmap, search Mount Mansfield and turn on freeride skiing/ backcountry skiing. They should show up in blue.

Don't forget; mountains are walls. And can eventually, get in your way. People who climb Mount Everest are looking for more than a trophy. They die up there looking for a world they don't fit into vibrationally.

In those conditions, rope not necessary. Those landings were wider and cleaner than the entry you had already skied.
@extreme_ryan_delena2 ай бұрын
I don’t know if you could tell in the video but I was right at the ends of my rope so it was a 30m rappel. The landing was also on a spine above another small ice bulge and the gully curves. Yes it could be dropped, but if I fell I could’ve died, so too much risk for me. Maybe someone else.
