Holy Crap! I`m Skiing the Super C

We did it!

It was a brutal hike straight up the Roca Jack. Fortunately for us the pros beat in a good boot pack yesterday. The hike took just over 2 hours. Straight up!

I damn near pooped em on one very exposed traverse near the top. Fortunately everyone was able to KIT...Keep It Together.

We had some incredible views of Aconcagua (spelling is probably wrong but I`m too tired to look it up), the highest peek in the Americas. We don`t know the exact elevation at the top of the Super C yet, but we figure it`s right around 14000. The previously named peek towered over everything at 22000. It`s a big piece of rock.

Anyway, before we knew it we were skiing South America`s biggest couloir. All I could think after the first few turns was...It`s good! Several turns after that I thought...Wow, my quads are really tired. Then it hit me. Holy crap, I`m skiing the Super C.

Tune in around Tuesday for some sweet ass pics.
