Here is the rock cliff/cornice that I hucked off and actually landed it! caveat is: I had no idea it was there or I never would have skied over it!
When I was in the air, I was thinking, "Uh-OH!"
After I landed it, I was exilerated and proud!
The rest of the gang, I couldn't get the self-timer to work, so I didn't get in the foto.Ken, Mike, Jim, Bill on the summit of Mt. Vernon.

OK, I have to admit! It was last season when I hucked it off here, but I had to take a foto of it this season (same time of year, but we had lots more snow last year, you couldn't see the rock!) because the guys were still talking about it from last year and giving me crap, saying,"are you going to catch some air off that big cliff again this year! They said they can still remember the sound I made while I was flying through the air, something between exhiliration and sheer terror! ~m
ReplyDeleteOh my! I would have screamed like a banshee had I gone off that!! yikes.
ReplyDelete"Can't believe you hucked off that. Sheeeit.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was the biggest tree hole I ever saw!
WTF. If you set fire to your front yard, makes sense you'd jump blind.
Woulda loved to hear what your brain was saying 'in the air'.
I did one of those in the middle of the pitch black night up at Stampede Pass on a snowmobile......was in the air for over 4 seconds.......
knowing it was gonna hurt.
It did.
Ya got some great pics there. The 'milk' sure takes me back to the 'early days' on Yarrow Pt. We had a one-armed milkman named Bill. He was famous. Didn't knock, just walked in to the fridge, swapped the old bottles for new, tossed in some butter, and off he went. We useta stow away on his truck in the summertime, and ride around till he caught us."
