This was when Baldy recieved 20ft in the month of March!!
Epic skiing. I skied Mammoth July 4th that year and Baldy two weeks after that!!http://www.hotboatpics.com/pics/data/500/3848notch2-med.gif.

Kirkwood gets a nice cornice like that too. Great vertical drop with the right conditions, drop the edge and your stomach is in your throat hoping you stick a nice landing and ride it out to flat ground. If not, its a long ride and you're gonna end up bruised.

I remember that year. I was twelve, my friend and I got dropped off at Baldy, and were picked up off road between Badly, wrightwood, and lytle creek. Did that on a Hooger Booger snowboard. The next day an avelanche killed two men in their twenties. Found them under enough snow to cover a school bus standing upright.

Thanks Whiteworks for that graphics. I have lived in the SGV all my life and seeing Baldy after a storm is the best. I have skiied Baldy many times and it is gets as hairy as Mammoth has to offer if you are up to it.

Kirkwood is awesome!! Can't think of the ledge but it is to the left hand side at the top if you're looking up at it.
Corbets at Jackson. Five hours with good weather. One of the reasons I went to Boise State.
Only dropped in a couple of times though!!:jawdrop:

As I recall, those two dropped off the back of thunder looking up at Telegraph and it was the third week in Feb. They weren't found until Spring. I was there the day they were lost :(

Yeah, this was off the backside that we dropped, long before they had plans of putting in the lift on the backside. Thats why we were picked up in the gulley. It turns out there used to be campgrounds from the 50's back in there. There were signs, old trash, and a burned up old car back there where pops picked us up. That was a fun day. Just as good as North Lakes back country, and almost as good as BC was. Have always dreamed of doing Valdez

I think your talking about The Wall or The Wave at Kirkwood. I went over on that lip and crashed within my second turn. I didn't roll but my hat went for a roll and it kept picking up speed and it traveled so far some guy picked it up and put it on and he couldn't hear me yelling because i was so far away. I made it down the hill and at the bottom on a pole was my hat. :)

I was working at the Los Angeles Times in Orange County, graveyard shift at the time.. they closed the Cajon pass at the 15/215 split because of snow. That doesn't happen too often. I ended up having to drive around, that made for a long day.

'98 was a good year as well, and hasn't been as good since.
I miss boarding
