That's awesome! I've never been into the White Mountains, a splitboarding trip looks like a great way to check it out.

Re: Skiing the col on Big Bird Peak?
Hey Dan, you ask for advice from those of us who might have skied this line on Big Bird, so I'll tell you how it went for me when I did it just last night. I was tossing and turning with your line in my mind; I skied all the way to the top of the route, looked down over the edge, and then crapped myself. No, I am not proud of it- glad it was a dream.
I admire your skill and courage from a safe distance Dan. All the best, Ian.

Haha! Well I hope your dream wasn't like the time that I dreamed I was peeing in the forest and I woke up to find that part of the dream was happening in real life.

Hey Daniel, did you get a chance to do this line on your trip across the Sierra last year?
