You can see one of the drops in Schmitz's last post in the background of your picture hehe. Also a very nice pic of you, that was the morning I went back to sleep >
 
Damnit, I don't know why you can't click them to make them bigger!

Well if you want to see them bigger just check out the pictures in my profile.

I suck at teh internets.
 
Some friends of mine took these shots at Alpental, maybe ~3 weeks back? This was taken near Chicken Chute to the left of Armstrong as your reaching the top (where people go ice climbing sometimes)

That chute has ripped on me. I got out lucky, I went back by myself and then it rips on me same place it ripped on me, first thought was ahh fuck. then 'wow your a fuckin idiot'
 
don't pretend like your good at math.

I know for a fact that my camera angle would not make it look smaller.

the equation you were looking for is this:

amplitude= [(quality of pipe)(pop of skis)^edge quality]/ice quantity
 
alpental 4/19

just east of stevens pass ski area. go to google maps and select "terrain" for viewtype....has most names of hilltops. but not Hilltop, Tacoma.
 
to be honest its not worth the long long journey to hike it or skin it. the bowl is sick but to much to get to it
