Heli-skiing at Thompson Pass

Waiting for our first heli-run. Sergio, Jamie, Mikey and Jeff left-to-right.

Ski Tracks on 'Cracked Ice' (Girls Mountain).

Jeff descends Stalefish with Jamie and Mikey looking on while a heli comes in to land.

Jeff contemplates his next line as clouds break to reveal nearby ridges.

Agata descends a run immediately above the highway as the weather begins to deteriorate. The tantalizing coulior in background will have to wait for another time.

Mikey, Jeff and Jamie (left-to-right) standing on the LZ with peaks south of Tsina River Valley in background. A day or two prior, we skied from the summit of the peak directly above Jeff's head.

Jeff in action!

Last look up 'Cracked Ice' basking in sunshine following a foot or more of fresh pow. Lucky bastards!

Distant jagged peaks off to the south of Thompson Pass. Lines off the pointy summit to the left have apparently been skied.

Mikey skis down 'Stalefish' with the heli dropping-off another group below.

Jamie skis down some glacier just southeast of ABA base.

Agata, Mikey and Jamie pose on lower flanks of Girls Mountain.

View up towards a ridge extending from Girls Mountain. We decended from the saddle in background on our one and only run the day we had to return back to Anchorage.
