Frank’s day 2 in Pemberton featured a return to a peak I skied the last time I visited the area, but thankfully it’s a great mountain that even got some time in MSP’s movie Yearbook.<\/em> Both Jon and Susan were able to join me, with their young baby watched over by Grandma, plus their friend Jim who crushed the snowmobile approach through the woods in over a meter of new snow. After that, it was nothing but pure gluttony- 6 laps on a roughly 2,000′ face with less than 20′ of climbing per lap. Just step off the snowmobile and go…<\/p>\n

The face:

Nice spot to park a snowmobile:

We skied in the same area the following day and I took this photo of our tracks on the O face. Yeah, it was good. Notice the figure 8’s thrown in by Jon and Jim just for kicks.

The video contains all 6 runs, with the bottom flat turns edited out. It also has one of the snowmobile tandems up, which were almost as much fun as the skiing on the way down. It’s a little long for a POV for some people, but it was also some spectacular skiing and I hope you enjoy it as it’s some of the best footage I’ve gotten (and getting photos on this face was next to impossible anyway)
