March 30, 2013 /// Skiing the Thunder Glacier
John Wells and Pete Durr skiing the Thunder Glacier in the North Cascades. Filmed and edited by John Wells.
I have walked by the Thunder for about 10 years on many missions to ski Mt. Baker. Never have I seen the snow bridges and bergschrunds so filled in. This was a moment of exploration, perfect planning, and route finding that all came together in 7 minutes of big mountain fun. Enjoy, many more Mountain Man Missions to come this summer! Stay tuned.
Winter has its way of bowing out, gracefully throwing in the towel moving on towards a new season and different weather cycles. With the close-out or shuddering of Winter the mountains are the fullest, the snowpack is settled and locked in for the spring, at these moments you can steal a line from the mountain gods before it is too late and summer is here.
Thunder Glacier /// Mountain Man Mission, it was an interesting experience watching it now i have some more ideas to spend time on youtube without wasting much of time in looking for what inspire me.
