Haines: Day 4 and More Pictures

April 18, 2010

Here are some more pics of the last day of the trip as well as some additional shots from the other days.

We landed on the moon!

Matt from K2 at the moment his ski comes off and he realizes he is in trouble…

Not sure how he stopped tumbling but glad he did.  Look how steep it is.

Our guide showing us how its done.

Saw a huge natural avalanche.

Here’s the video.

I just got out of the heli in this picture.  It’s amazing where they land and we get out.

Lifestyle shot.  DTBAA.

Haines: Day 2 and 3

April 15, 2010

This place is no joke. That’s what I kept saying to myself today as we skied. I have never been as gripped on skis as I was today. I forgot to bring my camera yesterday so there are only a few photos of today. There will be a lot more when I get pics from other people in the group. It turned out we had a first decent on one of the peaks.

This is where we’re staying.

Top of the 1st run of the day.

The glaciers around here are amazing.

The highest peak in this picture is the run we had the 1st decent on. I can’t describe what it was like. There really are no words to describe Alaska’s beauty, seriousness and what I was feeling at the tops so I’ll just post pictures.

Another view from the heli. We landed and got out at the top lookers left of the big face on the left.

Haines: Day 1

April 13, 2010

Traveled to Haines today.  7:45am flight from Seattle to Juneau, then a 30 minute flight in a tiny plane to Haines.  The weather looks like it might stay socked in until tomorrow afternoon so hopefully we can ski tomorrow.

That little blue plane is the one we took.  I fought the urge to make any La Bamba comments.

Just outside of Haines

Just like Full House

The view from our front porch.  Gorgeous!
