Man is that a pile of snow!!
My jaw dropped. Looks like you could loose a car in all of that.
I did try an afternoon of snow boarding a few summers ago near the top of the Jungfrau
in Switzerland. It was funny, most folks were just renting gear to have a pic taken. But for me it was a session. There was a small rope tow line and about a three hundred yard area to slide down. It was definatly coming together for me as the afternoon progressed. after the first couple passes I started making it without falling. Then was able to slide up to the rope for a clean turn around. Big fun!
I'm loving the snow pics.
