Early Ups

The early bird mission was scheduled and the weather cooperated! With a sunrise departure from the airport, we entered the mountains around the same time as the Northeast facing snow was gaining light. With our spots already picked out, we simply dropped the riders at the top, placed the filmer and myself in our locations and started shooting. Mads and Sammy were able to handle eight runs by the time noon rolled around...at 12:30, the weather front had arrived and started to engulf the southern end of the range, so we packed up and got out. Hopefully this fresh storm will produce plenty of new snow for all to enjoy in the coming days...Blotto.
