With this cold weather that familiar feeling is really hitting hard this year. We've been here almost 3 years now but for some reason it's more intense this year.
I've haven't made it to Tuckerman Ravine yet but I did make a feeble jump into corbett's in the era of 205cm slalom skis and survived. Went heli skiing once in BC. That was kinda funny, right when the first shorter wide powder skis came out. The guides were like "you really want to use the Chubbs vs. your GS skis" and I was like "they're only 180cm long, how can they possibly work at all??" but they really, really did and, like your heli days I'm sure, it turned out to be a day I'll never forget.
