New England Style










The other day I received a phone call from my friend Jim Surette. "Hey I think Dan Corn and I are going to try and ski Whitehorse tomorrow if you want to check it out." For all of you that don't know what Whitehorse is- it's usually a rock climbing cliff here in North Conway with the slab sections being about 700 feet high. Previous to this week we have recieved an amazing amount of snow for New England and these guys were all about it! They skied all of it except for one steep icy mid section they had to rappel. Let's just say this isn't your groomed packed powder mountain....it was awesome to see it all go down. Thanks for the call guys!

Very cool! VERY!!

Hey, not meaning to make too much extra work for you, but any chance of annotating the line of descent onto that upper photo? I'd be really psyched to share that experience vicariously.

Many thanks for posting this. And as a totally amateur photographer, I have to say, you rawwwk!

Looks like the Whitehorse skiers are decked in Patagonia. Nice!
