I don't know what time I am going up, but will be pulling the skimmer so watch for me. If the skimmer has been abandoned at the cabin I will be over the saddle.

Re: MCBRIDE AVALANCHE

Hey Bud, i see what you meant when we were talking about the avy yesterday night. Great pictures....

HERE'S THE PICS OF THE AFTERMATH.... WE WERE THE FIRST ONES OVER THE SWITCHBACK SADDLE(1ST SADDLE) AND THIS IS WHAT WE SAW...... PICS DON'T DOO IT JUSTICE... IT FLOWED DOWN THE VALLEY, AND REALLY LOOKED COOL.... WE BROKE THE TRAIL AND HAD TO RIDE DOWN PART OF THE AVY.... IT WAS VERY SOFT, AND HADN'T EVEN SET-UP YET....
PIC 1: ON TOP OF THE LITTLE SADDLE(OR 1ST SADDLE, OR SWITCHBACK SADDLE) / PIC 2: SHOWS WHERE THE CORNICE WAS AND THE TOP 3 - 4FT BREAKAWAY OF THE SURROUNDING SNOW LOAD / PIC 3: THE AVALANCHE "RIVER" DOWN THE VALLEY, THAT FOLLOWED THE CONTOUR... VERY COOL / PIC 4: BREAKING TRAIL AND RIDING DOWN MID TO LOWER AVY TO GET TO THE LAKE BELOW / PIC 5: BOTTOM OF THE AVY, JUST ABOVE THE LAKE......
