So on Tuesday, thanks to having a car (somehow) and money (who knows...) myself, cory hodges, jake s(letters-here-that-i-dont-know)ec, thomas seymour, and steve pleines decided to go try out this Echno Mountain we had heard so much about. It didn't hurt that passes this week were 10 bucks for the day either.
But anyway - we arrived at echo after a super sketchy drive up squaw pass rd (just imagine lots of sharp turns....oh, and ice.) at about noon or so, and everyone could feel the stoke flowing through our vibes. As we neared the lodge, we noticed something really fucking cool: we had echo to ourselves, and only had to share with the European Helly Hansen crew, including skier Nico Zacek.
crap. i was going to write a fun write up, but im exhausted and still slightly hung over, so here are some pics, and in the meantime im going to bed.
jake on the banked c-box...note the sweet background that the range makes.
jake greasing the looooong flat rail
im really pissed i missed this shot....it would have been so sick if the camera was on.... (d'oh)
