30-40 minutes lines? Uhg..

Good to hear re snow accumulation. I'm anxious to make my way out there, but it's going to be a little while yet.

The first cornice I ever hopped was Lover's Leap. Like the way the snow gets deposited in that bowl. Jumped off at about 15 mph and sailed maybe 20 ft out, 20 ft down. Then straight-lined the rest.

What an incredible rush, still gives me goosebumps.

One of the guys I was with was doing front-flips off the same cornice. He biffed it on one occasion and must have tumbled 30 yards..
