Williams Peak

After the snow became far too skied out on the mountains in the week of dryness, we headed to the backcountry to find the deeper snow, and learn to land backflips better. We skinned up, and built two fun jumps, both good for trying backflips, and other inverted tricks. The first jump was fun with a beautiful backdrop of Sopris. The second was a large hip-style jump that landed in deep powder. We also skied some amazing snow on the way down.



Me learning to lay it out on the first lip we built.


Jake bustin it huge with Mt. Sopris in the background.


I climbed into a tree to get this shot, it was sweet.

Jake attempting a linken loop on the second jump we built, it ended up being a cork 3 ish to his head.



Me attemptimg the Double Backflip, i almost got it around,and just barely caught my tips on the second rotation.

These posts area little late because the skiing was so epic the last five days. Check back for more from those days.
