ZUMA!!!

Dates: Saturday February 16th, 2008

Cruised-up to the little town of Montezuma to take advantage of the clear early morning weather. Myself with Trent, Scott and Evan took the trek to this beautiful basin where we were greeted with perfect weather and perfect snow conditions.

Full photo gallery can be found here (of course after you are done here).

Scott at the end of his line in the Steeps section. You can see how much sluff we got moving down the hill in this section. Photo by Trent.

Trent (right) and Evan on top of Big Chute eyeing out the line:

Evan cruising down the middle part of the steeps. Fun stuff:

Evan catching some air with the sled off of the Keylock Cornice (if you are curious ask Trent about where he came up with the name):

Myself coming down the first run of the day. Apparently each line is about 700-800 ft in verticle (thanks to handy GPS) and all of it was perfect. Also note the large avalanche debris fields that we had to navigate around:

Yeah it was that good:
