A strip of (slightly off-) White Gold

Sweet mother of pearl! I have found the promised land - a snow halfpipe in July!

Skiing up the pipe

Any weenie can find a patch of snow and ski downhill in July. It takes a special kind of weenie to ski uphill in July.

Heading towards North Suicide

The snow was dirty, but other than that it was surprisingly good skiing! Less than an hour from home, and I was xc skiing in late July.

Getting my game-face on

At the top of the pipe, getting psyched up to drop in.

Quarter-pipe? Maybe?

Okay, so the kickers on the sides of the pipe need a little work, but the base is solid.

Cruising downhill

End of the line

Man, I shredded the pipe so hard, it was smoking!
