Jeremy Jones Instagram – This was the most serious line I rode last year. After I rode it with @goodmannnnnn I called @highcamp.us who first rode it over 20 years ago.
“That’s a spicy line” I said.
He gave his usual laugh, agreed and added “I brought an inclinometer with me. The top measured in the mid 50’s.”
I have no idea about slope angles but those first turns still make my palms sweat.
The snow is far from glory powder but pretty close to optimal for a line like this.
Deep powder would have been a mega wallow climbing, the sluff would be a nightmare and a small avi would be really serious.
It’s also an example of how important it is to put in time riding firm, variable steeps at the resort so you are ready when the stakes are higher.
Volume recommended.
