A pictures worth a 1,000 words? Well here’s the cliff notes
version of what this picture doesn’t tell you. First I forgot my blue
coat on my way out the door to the hill at 8AM. The hill was packed so
my wife had to drive it up to me. Yes I have a backcountry backpack on
but no I don’t have a beacon on as I forgot that in the truck while
scrambling to find my forgotten coat. Once I had hiked 60 flights of
stairs (FitBit) to make my way out to the spot we were going too, I went
over the bars head first into a tree well and was stuck face down for
15 minutes. I was screaming “HEYYYYYY!” at the top of my lungs but the
skiers on the cliff above me didn’t come to my rescue because apparently
when your stuck in a tree well you yell “HELP” not “HEY.” While in the
tree well, I went to relieve myself of some built up gasses in my body
and ended up blowing solids in my underwear. And now with this photo,
I’m making a pow turn down the cliff line my kid jumped because he
called me from the landing and said “Dad, don’t let them pressure you
into anything.” Yea, ain't it a pretty picture? Merry Christmas. Photo: Brian Schaefer
