I respected the edges and avalanche possibilities and never courted disaster!! I was somewhat of a thrill-seeker years ago, but I don't want to die until I think it's time, and on my own terms! No mountain is going to take me away! I used to hear them shooting off canons into the mountain at about daylight to loosen any possible avalanches, and I knew the dangers!

My grandfather was born and raised in Norway. His name was Marcus Adrian Ness. He came from Norway when he was 16, on a moments notice by ship with his older brother back in the 1890's. He was in the Spanish-American War. He settled in Duluth, Minnesota. A city with many Norwegians and worked for the railroads. He married, built a nice home, had three daughters, the youngest, my mother. All of whom went to college and became teachers. The oldest was Junior high school home economics teacher, the middle was an art education professor in the New York University system at Brooklyn College. My mother graduated from Northwestern University with honors in choral conducting and piano. There's more to the story, I don't want you to fall asleep. I LOVE lefse and Gjetost (yay- toast) cheese. I ski, but not at that level.

The snow at Alta would fall 5 to 6 feet in a night. That's desert powder. When you scooped it up in your glove and blew on it it would just hang there in the air. There is a run their called East Greeley. to get into the top of it you have to free fall 60 feet down a vertical cliff face. But then your looking at a wide open face of 6 feet deep powder, when you make your turns you go under the surface of the snow and emerge again on the top of the turn. You never feel the hill. You are skiing on air all the way down 25 turns as I recall. They had a word for it 'spacial' also 'orgasmic'. Men would literally fall in love with the mountains.

This makes me think about the time when I was young. Not a care in the world and the only exiting way down was off-piste. I remember the feelling standing on a icy almost 90 degree cliff thinkig this is not going to work out, but it always did. I remember walking miles in deep snow to get back to the piste after a wonderful freeride through a valley. Now weve got responsibilities, tend to take things easy. Thank you for this video.

I skied this many time in 2002/03......and again in 2007 and 2009. The loss of snow and ice is remarkable. I remember that cable well..the entry was nothing like that....

It really is fascinating and scary watching it deteriorate like that. It needs a few years of snowy winters to build back up, but with the last couple of hot summers even the permafrost holding the rocks in place is melting... Lots of classic climbs no longer recommended due to rockfall.

I've skied it in 2007 a couple of times and the approach of the section 1 was all snow and quite pleasant. That rock garden is something else and scary!!

Wow nice job. Some of those exposers had me freaking out and I’m sitting on my couch! You are so casual there. You guy have crazy skills especially at the end skiing frontwards and backwards through the rock field.
