After some fresh snow with a variable snowpack our guide Beanzy took us out to a bowl by the name of Tea Bag. We started off testing the stability of the snow on a bit of a mini golf line before heading up for the real deal. Our pilot 'Al', a Vietnam vet gave us what they call a toe in landing. A 'toe in' is when there is no safe zone to land so the pilot hovers with one skid touching the snow(not the side we got out of). This is when you get out... Are you kidding me!!! Hands down the best run of my life. Best thing is this is just the beginning. Photo:: Chris Boadle

The accommodations for our stay here in Haines, the Thunderbird is no super 8 but it will do. A room with a view I guess.
The contents of the riding pack.
Built for the movie 'White Fang', Dalton City lives on within sleepy old Haines. The majority of Dalton is closed or the winter however The Haines Brewing Company is open in one of the bigger spaces which would fit about 8 people or maybe 4 American sized folk. Cool place to check out and have a brew for sure.
