summary:
new lines at Gallagher..

rode Gallagher yesterday with the Gallanar bros and a few other folk.
always a fun time riding with that crew..
 
we rode out in the rain but shortly after once we hit about 3500ft nothing but snow, once we hit about 4500ft 2ft of powder waiting for us.. sick!!
 
once up on gallagher we commenced destruction with the sleds, man that shit is fun..
 
after sled shredding for a while, breaking a pretty technical trail to Hawkins which was intense but super fun.. we headed back out to the lake at the bottom of gallagher, on the way we found some new routes and spotted them for board lines.. here we teamed up dropped sleds started shuttling and got some super fun lines in down these lower gallagher new routes.. nice gulllies, steep open faces and killer tree runs were the hit here.. can't wait to do it again.. now that we got these new routes dialed there are tons of lines to hit! 500 to 1000 vertical runs i'd guess with all types of features to choose from.. yep i'm stoked on it..
 
so, it dumped most the day so alot of my pictures came out shiity, like super blurry shitty.. so here are some of ther better focused pics that still are not so great..
 
Drew, dropping 10 footer into pow field
 
 
 
nice clearing towards the end of the day.. i thought this powder looked real nice.. so i snapped a pic
 
 
here is the west'ish facing slope of gallagher from lower fields of Hawkins
 
 
sometimes the shuttle ride, well, u get stuck..
 
 
the gallanars buddy, Brett, pro snocross racer.. this was a 20 ft drop and like 40 out.. super fun watching this dude and his buddy ride.. big drops and killer boondocking skills..
 
 
some sled pow destruction
 
 
the hill across from gallagher.. sun poking out at the end of the day.. this was one of our drop points.. for shredding
 
 
a few crew members and some other bubbas watching the festival on gallagher face
 
 
well, thats about all the photos i got... took about 30 just most came out super shitty do to dumping snow..
 
the road in and out, the usual beat down on the body, but the riding in this area is so worth it.. rode up to my sisters cabin for some free dinner after words and a few beers before heading home.
 
good day!
