Killing the Snake. April 22, 2008
After being weathered out for two days in Alaska, I finally killed the snake.
A short heli ride followed by two hours of arduous climbing, we
topped out on the Python, the biggest peak in the valley. With lumps
in my throat, I dropped into the line, possibly ripping my best turns of
2008. My sluff was chasing me down as I skied 2500 feet in ten
turns. My first true AK line!!!





Wow.
10 turns, I would have done it in 5…
