This year marks the third time the TGR crew and I headed up to northern Washington for a shred session at North Cascade Heli. This year the conditions were good with a layer of snow pasted nicely to the steeps and piled up on the pillows. After an early start the North West has been getting hit with nice little blast of snow but not their usual hammering of huge storms. This set the terrain up for some heavily featured lines full of interesting pillows, spines and chutes.
This year Erik Roner Joined Seth Morrison and I and created a nice dynamic while looking for lines, cliffs, airs, and pillows. Erik launched off a few 300+ footers with the help of his chute. Seth and I hit some classic chutes, and we all found plenty of powdery pillows to launch off.
I always love the vibe at this heli operation, things are chill in the sleepy town of Mazama and the people are welcoming. Once again the overwhelming feeling of fun skiing was prevalent as we cruised around filming. North Cascade Heli is my top pic, and recommendation if your looking for a heli ski experience in the lower 48. The combination of terrain, snow, people, and flyable weather is the perfect mix for an epic adventure. A big thanks to the crew at North Cascade Heli, and their B3 helicopter.
