Chutes - Я - Us ( two for one special )w/video footage now

Postby maxpower88 » Fri Feb 22, 2013 7:17 pm

So with the Dog’s Life Krew members running thin due to the conditions and our captain being 3200 miles away, we agreed that a sacrifice was needed. hkyfsh and I decided that today was the the day to take down the unnamed rock chute in the Hippy Lake Basin out of Hippy Lake & then ski the Hippy Slide back to the car in honor of Highanxiety (who we know would be proud of us). The recent storms coupled with the colder temps have made for some epic BC conditions, and today was no different, knee deep blower up high and boot deep pow down low (ya, I said knee deep).

It took us 6hrs car to car and 4.5hrs of climbing in all, we had to transition twice but we were able to descend 3000 vertical feet of chutes right to the back of the car on 158. There was A LOT of cursing and two steps forward, one step back type of shi t but we kept our kool like true professionals, this is our story.

It went well to say the least....

Many of my days have started out like this, climbing to the goods.
Image

Things like this are why I spend most of my time climbing in the woods, what the hell happened here. Super cool...
Image

Alright, enough fluff, here we go. hkyfsh staring down his fate.
Image

Dropping pt1
Image

Dropping pt2
Image

Here we go, hkyfsh killing it
Image

hkyfsh steeze
Image

Seriously deeeep!
Image

Looking down @ hkyfsh
Image

Getting to the dogleg right and the exit of the chute, still knee deep.
Image

This is it, the last of the 1000’ chute.
Image

to be continued…..

Dude, your R is backwards.

Nice chute. That last recon pic did not look like it went. That dog-leg is blind. Thanks for the pix!
I used to be with it, then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with, isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me. It'll happen to yoooouuu.

LOL, solid work guys. Like this picture the best. ^^

My kind of sufferfest for sure. Stoked to see you guys sacked up and skied that line already and found some good snow in there by the looks of it...Looking forward to getting back out there in March, but right now VT is treating me very well. Hopefully I can bring some pow back with me....

Ride on Bitches!

Awesome!

Looks like it was good fun. I'm jealous - but its kind of a lame jealousy because I have the means, the equipment, and the time to get out BC - just haven't. Please call me names so I'll go get some!
I am evil. I swear.
