If that’s where I think it is I pulled that line a few years ago in mid April.

I’ve looked at Kanedogs blue line a lot and even took a couple run in passes but there’s a pretty good boulder field just up off the lake. In an epic snow year it would be a smooth run in.


Yeah its where you think it is. With my stock chit I can only do it when its setup. Have you been over the top of this one? (same area)
Good riding on the back side, and no one goes up there because its steep as fawk.

I go the blue line, my friend Kevin (may he RIP) pulled the red one,, that crazy bugger.

Yeah I've been back there a couple times. We tried to get in the there twice this year but both times there was someone in the group that couldn't make the purple line, it's a long steep pull. That red line is intense. I'll have to look at it next year. Wouldn't want to not make it this time of year.

The red line is the one i crashed in 06 BIS. There is a video of it somewhere. Tex posted it once.
Sled was total.
My mistake is i should had gone up and shoveled out the snow drift first but instead ...
BTW made it to the top but the cornice flipped me and sled head over feet and sled mowed me over and all the way down it went. Except it took a different line on the way down, it went through the trees and rock face between the green and red line, got huge air and flipped hard enough that the engine came out when it landed.
I think I remember that actually. What BIS year was it Mike Irman climbed that and ordered pizza from Zala's while up there by chopper?

There was an Irmen that climbed at Jackson this year. I wonder if that is his kid?

there is 3 brothers cavin,carson and colton irmen they all race down south. they always come to our races too. Dont think thats their father as i havent seen him around. im sure someone can clarify that.

I climbed the chute to the right a few times with my Rx-1 Then I tried it another time with my newly built apex 174 hit a big hole near the top and got bucked off she came down over the cliff that i marked in red , the boys at the bottom said they couldnt believe the crunch it made when it landed lol I slid down the long way on my ass and a few buds come up from the bottom a little black tape on the throttle lever and some zip ties i was up and running for the big iron shoot out the next day , yes with some cosmetic damage (flattened fuel rack and banged up tunnel piece lol

Someone on snow and mud posted a pic of it sitting where it landed would love to see that pic again . Sorry for terrible pic
