Got to roll out with my old friend, UAC avalanche forecaster and father of the splitboard Brett "Cowboy" Kobernik. Cowboy witnessed a couple pretty major slides yesterday (check out the UAC site for pics and details here) so he was ready to just get some floaty pow turns today... fine by me!
Small release in Silverfork shot yesterday from Guardsman Pass
Ran into Mrs. Moose and Jr. Moose right off the bat
My view for most of the day
Cowboy is a wealth of knowledge and experience and a non-stop comedy routine
Time for a hasty pit to check out the situation
Things are still pretty thin out there
Block release with little effort
Cowboy insisted that you need to taste the facets to confirm that they are bad... haha
Artsy status
Found a little zone with some surface cracks
Closer up shot of the surface cracking
CowMan gives our first line a thumbs up
That was nice
Soooo artsy
CowMan found a safe spot to try to get some collapsing
The zone seemed like it had already dropped so we dug a pit to check it out
Here's a quick video of the release we got in our last pit
