Concrete Peak Back Bowls

With the season coming to a rather abrupt end Little Jimmy hadn’t had anything too scary to ski,  and it was time to see if we could scare Justin a little bit.  The Back Bowls at Concrete Peak had been shut for a good 2 weeks.

Signs are for tourists…..

We’re going down there?

The answer is yes,  and we’ll have the proof.

Here is the line we skiied – its maybe 35 – 40 degrees steep.  Softening corn snow.

We finished up a good 200m (of vertical) below the saddle which we had to hike to get back ‘in-bounds’.  The best thing about being ‘Closed’ was that we were the first to ski that line in a couple of weeks.

Now there is a fair bit of video footage of this mission – perhaps we did it to document our final moments (if we crashed ski patrol wasn’t going to find us being a ‘closed’ area).  These clips are all under 10meg so shouldn’t take too long to download and remember to ‘Right Click’ the link and then ‘Save Target As’ – its the best method of downloading.
