[...] Although, I would guess that possibly the best angle, would be the one enjoyed by the skiers in this amazing film clip. [...]

I second Chris’s post – I broke my leg and back in November, and this chronicle has been the most exciting part of my winter. Thanks for sharing the effort Andrew and can’t wait to get at it myself…

I thoroughly enjoyed the top 10 in 10. Your description of the lines (and your writing in general) is very good. One question though. Why do the N shots first? I would think you would want to do the S ones before the N based on both snow quality and avy danger. Thanks!

Great project Andrew, definitely inspiring. It’s got me thinking about a spring project like that (perhaps a wee less ambitious/smaller) around here in the Bitterroots. Keep’m coming.

Congrats Andrew, to you and all the cast. Best show I’ve seen in years! I couldn’t wait to get home to see what happened next! Hey Fred M., say hello to us common folk next time your in town! Loved seeing you be a part of this you stud muffin!

Thanks everyone! That was a lot of good turns with a few bad ones thrown in for good measure.

I was also wondering what the total vert was, especially on the last climb as my legs were getting a bit tattered. The shortest outing was about 3,200′ and the longest was 7,750′ with quite a few 5,000′ers thrown in there as well, so probably somewhere in the 45,000′ range. I’m interested in writing up a summary, so I’ll total it up more accurately later on. Regardless, I kept thinking of Greg Hill who went on a 10k per day X 10 day bender for a grand total of 100,000 a year or so ago.

Cool! What was the total vert for the project? I’m on “light duty” and it’s fun and painful to read about skiing adventures while I wait for the Doctor’s clearance to get back into the game.
