North Maroon

Wow ! This video though! We made it a couple of years ago now. I can not stand our voice overs, but you kinda get the idea we are going for. I think we need to write more of a script and tell more of the story. What do you think? Can’t wait to edit this video and put it back up here. Stay tuned.

This was the craziest peak I have ever snowboarded. I am so glad that we had the opportunity to safely ride this amazing line. Our route took up up the Gunsight coulior to 13,000” where we headed around to the west side of the mountain and up to the top. Our route down was mixed conditions with some previous tracks from the day before when we saw Davenport and friends ski the line.

The North Face Direct in red and our approach thru Gunsight and around the west side to the top.

At the base of the peak in sunlights first rays.

The Gunsight in view on the far right.

Nicky making his way up Gunsight.

Travessing around the West side to the top. You can see Snowmass and Capitol.

Steep and a bit Icy actually make for great climbing conditons. Pucker factor was high though, as we were above a serious no fall zone.

Top of North Marron pointing at Maroon Peak. We rode that just a week before.

This was actually our first time hanging out with @Pow_Hoar . What a first time experince!

Riding up to the "Punk Rock band".

I was a bit butt puckered, so i decied to be a butt whiper and kinda just ease my way down. One disadvantage i guess from skiing, No side stepping.

Nicky and I waiting for @Pow_Hoar after the first open face of great riding at the top. From here the run will become much more technical, steep with firmer condtions.

Coming into the first choke.

Navigating the entrance to the next choke

NO fall zone.

About 10ish feet of traversing above these cliffs on a small edge. Good thing I'm goofy.

Freedom!!! We made it ! @Pow_hoar coming out of the apron at the bottom.

Back at the car. Was it all a dream?
