"My protocol is to align myself spiritually with each cliff I take down. It’s hyper-awareness; of the snow layers, of the trajectory, of the take off, and making sense of, and truly developing a relationship with, the air and distance I know I’ll pass through." - Juilan Carr
Owen Leeper tells a tale of his recent cliff sending bender in Targhee with Julian Carr.
A crash from last February left me with a tear in my labrum in my right shoulder. I was able to finish out the season, skiing well into August but I new I would have to get surgery before the winter. My doctor originally told me that skiing by Christmas was going to be a push and would still depend on my physical therapy and range of motion. Luckily for me, everything went well during PT and he cleared me to ski almost two weeks early!Starting on December 17th we got to ski powder everyday. We made it up Cody peak a couple times and got fresh tracks on Pucker and No Name face. Christmas eve it snowed again and we woke up to 9 inches of more snow. By December 26th the storm had dropped 37 inches!
Our man Owen Leeper is out with another killer season edit. Check out the highlights from his '16/'17 season skiing at Jackson Hole on the Nomad 105. See the massive backflip into Corbet's Couloir, deep Wyoming powder skiing, and chunky cliff hucks. Filmed with the help of Sasha Motivala & Ben Goldberg. Enjoy!
Last week Sasha Motivala and I drove up to Canada from Jackson, with goals to ski Kicking Horse, Revelstoke and a little backcountry with sleds. It was amazing. We got good snow the day we drove in and refills all week.
