Guess what?
Yeah…..
…another heli day. This time it was Rainbow, which I’ve never done before.
It’s OK…..
We got to fly with Blackcomb Heli again—it’s been too long. Our pilot even put on a bit of a show on the way up with some high performance moves around the thermals. I think Christian likes helicopters now.
Ooops….dropped em.
Well, not really…but it’s a cool shot.
So’s this group photo. The extra bodies are local Pete (the Angry Pirate) and some other Germans associated with Cosmic Sports (German Marzocchi and Cove distributor).
One of the other Germans (forget his name) on another cool bike named Herb (really).
Linda, and some nice scenery.
Ben, same.
Can’t remember this guy’s name, but more of the same goodness.
Herb, showing some lycra and a smile.
Pfft, it doesn’t look that far.
Hmmm…it’s not getting any closer.
The possee, in the sub-alpine steeps.
Time for a break, and still looking down on Garbonzo.
Once we were more into treeline we hit this old firebreak, and the fireweed was going off with fall colours.
There was also this Disney style rock action that we sessioned.
….and sessioned…..
..and sessioned some more. Hey, it’s a fun one.
Linda in some more sub-alpine meadows.
Harley said it the best….
Yeah, a pretty special day.
The trail picks up some mad flow and gets steeper as you descend, and you finish off with an old rutted out Whitler style descent called Jaws.
From there we hit A river Runs Through It, just because it’s there.
Here’s Holger on the drawbridge stunt.
..and Christian in the hollow tree.
Finally, all things come to end so we went for a much needed burger.
