A photo I posted last week revealed an empty parking lot to the untrained eye, but to us it showed that a classic line on Mt Superior was very much still in play. When we drove by on Memorial Day the exit looked to be just wide enough to ski through. Since that might only last a few more days it was either now or ~~never~~ next year. We went up this morning to check it out... parked at the base, booted the couloir at a good clip, skied down with lots of jump turns, and then went to work. It was a fun adventure to start the day (beautiful morning!) and set the tone for some more stoke-chasing this weekend!

You skiers and your crazy language..."booted the couloir..." "Stoke chasing..."

Anyway, pictures are totally radical!

right?

Can you imagine what a hard time skiers have understanding running lingo?

But to break down some mountain-talk you a Texan like yourself...

and

"Booting" = walking in boots :-)

Stoke chasing is hippie dope smoking lingo.

Ok I think I understand everything now - smoking dope while walking in boots up the corridor. I have so much to learn about life in the mountains.

You pretty much have it figured out now after this exchange. With your hand tan, you'd compliment the goggle tan crew nicely.
