Where: CA Chutes
Kwood, CA

Who: Just me and mr.amy

when: i'm a slow hiker and had a cold... took most of the day on 3/4/07

----

Friday morning I woke up with a cold. I didn't want this to slow down my weekend so I pumped my system full of theraflu and o.j., but that just made me loopy. Saturday woke up feeling worse, but I want to go out exploring. And mr.amy was up for an adventure as he wanted to break in his new rossi jeremy jones board.
and what would jeremy jones do? would he cruise down some groomers? no way.

so we set off for the cali chutes.

snow was not the light pow pow we had earlier in the week.... slow and sticky. but at least we were only the 4th and 5th people to get out there since the last storm.

and here i am at the bottom of the bowl with the chutes hidden to the left.

google earth RULES.

and the bowl in the previous image is below where you can see.

That looks pretty nice. Sure looks like a long hike though?

I was at Alpine Saturday and the snow was pretty wet and sticky like you said, so I just ducked out of bounds a tad on the backside and we built a kicker.

PS- I think we are in trouble if we go riding with kidwoo... (stolen from a ride report on RM)

Both shots were taken by CS...

Nice photos...

Who is CS? And who are those skiers? They aren't both the same person...
