Ryan's new Igneous skis

Finally having a day off that coincided with Ryan's day off we decided to hit the pass and do some laps. And it just so happened that Ryan finally had his custom made skis from Igneous here in Jackson ready to shred. Ryan's liftie buddy, Matt, came with us to ski the pass for the first time. After a short hitchhike to the top, we started the short climb.

We've both been hitting these cornices for a while now with the stable snow and you can pick your line to make it a small drop or send it and go pretty big. Even without deep new snow, it was still a soft landing.

Ryan decided to send it huge and boy did he go big. You can see his bomb hole where Matt, in the blue jacket, is standing. Unfortunately, I was only able to catch the aftermath of his huck. It was probably around a 20' drop. Nice work, Señor.

I ended up hiking half way back up to them from where I had stopped after sending it myself because Ryan single ejected and tomahawked losing one of his skis. After frantic digging, cooler heads prevailed and Ryan spotted his ski at the bottom of the ravine. Lucky dog.

I fetched his ski and he worked his way down on one ski. After one lap, we decided to hit it up again. This time, we took a back seat in someone's truck. It was cool climbing up the pass with such an unobstructed view.

Just another day in Jackson.
