Thanks for sharing! So inspiring. Looks like you had a great group, very colorful!

My dream is to be a strong enough pow skier (and have available time and $) to ski by Snowcat with Wiegele some day. I bookmarked the website a year ago and visit it from time to time to drool.....

Wow! What an amazing experience for you. Your photos are gorgeous, thank you so much for sharing.

Hey, Katy, didn't anyone tell you you're not supposed to ski into the poor innocent sapling trees? :duck:

Really though, the pics are great thank you for sharing!

 

[SkiNurse]

[MaineSkiLady]

Wow.
Remember the quote from the old(er) (perhaps MUCH older) Warren Miller films?
"Do it NOW, or you'll just be one year older when you do."

SO glad you did a heli trip, thanks for sharing!

Quoting someone else, from my family, who met and skied with you last May: "Dude. That lady can ski."

Picture's worth 1,000 words!

I could not talk my husband into that many years ago when we were in Panaroma for a week. "Oh we're not good enough". Tried to explain that they put you into a group of like experience. (And it was 1/2 price time of year!)

Great pics and one of these days I take those pics!!

Thanks so much for letting us experience the pow through you!

I'm trying to talk my dad into a trip to MW for my 21st. I'm telling him that I would much rather be heli skiing for a weekend, then getting trashed. And I'm totally serious. It might work!

After seeing your pictures, I'm going to beg even more!

Ha, that's a great strategy. Good luck.

Amazing pics! I can't wait to go one day myself. Hopefully soon! Maybe next season...
