I am the RainMaker and this made me so happy, I am not ashamed that I cried even though it seems sappy. Thank you for posting this mountain man. (9:49 and 10:00)
Awesome turns!! I used to take my dog up to Lookout Pass when it was closed for a few turns. My dog would slide like a seal beside me while I was going down. Dang that was fun!
I would have killed to be at Kirkwood that day. The avy risk was a little tough to judge, though, since Sierra Avalanche Center ended their season on 4/21. I do know that not all that much slid when they shot after this storm at Palisades and Mammoth, but I didn't learn that until too late to act on it.
