Great story and I learned a lot! Moving a ton of snow sounds exhausting!
When I was growing up ( in CA), I had a good friend who was Swiss and a real adventurer. His father was trying to mainstream a system for backcountry skiing that included a parachute to catch the wind to pull you up the mountain. Then you’d pack it in a backpack and ski down. It obviously didn’t catch on, but sounded cool. The guy was a kickass skier, though. Probably not for mortals.
Great work bro! Living vicariously through you this winter!

Another great read. Something I will never do but yet had the experience with you through your gift of writing.
Awesome stuff. Put me down for the pre-order on the "Live for this Shit Club" apparel!
I was hoping this would hit Substack when I saw it on Instagram! I'm jealous. Sick outing and great storytelling. Stay safe.
