Even though this doesn't exactly relate with skiing the powerline, you tell the satisfied expression on ATLskier's face after you guys conquered that run.

You guys are so awesome! Nice rip on the NC BC. I see lines like this in Dirtyham and I know it would take a once in a couple of lifetimes snow event to get any of them even thinkable for skiing.

When SKISC and I pulled in the parking lot somehow I knew those were your tracks under that powerline. Way to get it!

All of us hit something at least once, but it was surprisingly deep. The worse deathtrap area was the bottom, where there was lots of hidden scrub brush. I managed to lose my ski for about 10 minutes, and at least one other person ate it at the very bottom as well.

Also, Blacky really needs to wax his skis
