DOOM/LOVE: Too eager to shred

Last weekend I was hanging out at Hozer headquarters scoping some footy. We looked over some footy from the space party (mini vid up soon) and checked the stuff that Brendan and Ian got on their adventure out of whittier that same weekend. All of it looked really awesome, and I was really jealous of the shred mission. Brendan and Ian didnt make it to snow, but they definitely got down on some boarding.

On sunday, me and B$ set out on a mini adventure of trying to find that elusive alaskan snow in the middle of september. In previous years we have had good luck shredding up at the lane glacier at hatchers pass, but we had only been their mid october when there was about a foot and a half of new snow on the glacier. We had heard that you can snowslide their year round, so with no questions asked, we went for it.

On the hike up we played with many of these little guys.

At this point we were about an hour and a half in on the hike and we were so stoked (also soaked). I was certain that their would be all kinds of sweet rock gaps and taps, and perfect corn snow for rippin turns. High, high hopes me and B$ had. I couldn't even handle myself. I had to take a time out and pick some tail and grab some nose... do a few tailblocks.

Took a few minutes to scope the lane hut and look for any left over goodies. Nothing but the usually assortment of smoking devices, mouse traps, american flags and epic tales (their was some story about a girl that fell in love with three guys at the hut but realized they were too smelly for her, seriously).

So we finally reached the glacier after about two and a half hours of hiking, only to find out that glaciers are actually made of ice. It was quite a surprise. I do believe I knew this before taking on the adventure but when someone said it was a go, i just went with it. I guess im just a little too excited for snowboarding.
