Journeys: Beehive Basin III

Second day with the Storm Castle Crew. This time our destination was Beehive Basin where Adrian has two big booters that he wanted to throw some tricks off of. I hooked myself up with snowshoes and gaiters and we had an easy hike in. We got up to a jump that sends you through a field goal-esque tree limb and found two friends Scottie Williams and Damien Conlin hard at work. We all jumped in and finished up the field goal jump and in-run, then they crew started their session. After a few straight airs the big tricks came out. Scottie threw a great looking Rodeo 540 and Adrian stuck a super smooth 360.

After the field goal we moved on to the big jump to the right of the field goal. It was a big jump to a nice steep landing that you send 20 feet or 80 feet. Adrian was throwing massive 720's off of the big jump, but I just could not find that magic angle that I needed.

Lofty 720 tail grab.

Scottie tweaked his knee and a thunderstorm rolled in. On the way out I spotted two small-ish bear tracks in the snow.
