During any other year, April 29th in Tahoe would be all about sunny park days, hanging out at the lake and grilling up some steaks. This was not your typical Tahoe April. We got hit with multiple storms and this one dropped 25 inches of the goods. We woke up on Thursday to blue skies, no wind and allot of snow. Kyle Miller, Josh Parker, Nick Visconti, Tim Bradley and myself headed out to ASI and took full advantage of this opportunity.
We like to call this the backyard...

Nick Visconti executes the best move in boarding...
I was walking along a ridge and found a nice hole. When temperatures warm up cornices start to pull apart creating giant cracks in the snow. If it snows over them it can create a potentially dangerous situation. You cannot see the cracks and if you step in the wrong spot they can eat you alive.
I got lucky... a few more feet to the right and I would have gone for a ride

After we exhausted all our options in the backyard we packed up and headed through the ASI tunnels to the old Forum jump...

Miller dropped a hammer with this first track front 540.
This was my last day in Tahoe before heading up to Oregon and it could not have been any better. Powder day with some of my best friends in late April. It was the perfect end to an epic winter.
