Rather impressively scary video of a mic'd pro extreme skier falling 1600 feet down a terrifying long steep 50 degree slope on link below. When he starts to fall one can see one of his skis coming off that then tumbles down below him, then the second ski comes off and stops. Later near where he finally stops one can see the first ski.

With last weeks nice storm laying down a nice snow base and another smaller colder storm due Sunday, several Tahoe ski resorts will be opening up before Thanksgiving. Have a season pass again so am likely to be making turns each weekend before the Xmas/New Years week. To help get in shape will be doing a 7 mile round trip hike tomorrow down south at the Big Sur coast to a remote beach that has striking purple colored garnet manganese sand will do some close-up work on. Length of day now is only 10.5 hours at our latitude that doesn't allow much time to dabble about after reaching destinations on longer hikes. Thus will be on the trail not long after sunrise in order to get maybe 4 hours in at mid day.
