| Dicey launch conditions with a West wind blowing on South. Felt straight up but there was a crosswind. Waited for a bit then launched OK. Got thermalled pretty high pretty quickly but I just wanted to get down since I was late. Bumpy up there and the wing took its 1st collapse as I was trying to approach. Got lifted up high and took a hit. Got back to the downwind side but turned too soon and too high. Drifted to road and turned back but plunged to the ground a bit quickly. Couldn't stick the landing but it was all OK. Should have thrown big ears in to counter the turbulence. |

| Flight down. Only person on launch and only person flying - how cool is that! Excellent forward launch and sled ride down. The new wing launches way better than the old one especially on forwards. |

| East Lake from KK with the Lakemont CC. Nice ride in. |
| Note | |
| (injured) |
| Full on burnt face. My lips and under my nose are crispy and the rest of my face is not much better.
All this with factor 30 cream, glasses and my wide brimmed OR hat.
Sun on snow up at altitude is dangerous stuff. |

Sunday May 4 |
| Snowboarding - skinning 5:00:00 [3] 10.0 mi (29:59 / mi) +1460m 12:49 / km | |
| |
| Paradise to Muir snowfield and down onto the Nisqually glacier. Hit the wrong chute and ended up in mega crevasse city - not nice.
This coupled with me pulling the bingings off my board on a 40 deg slope down to a crevassed glacier was not good. Had to glissade down a very hairy avalance area.
Weather was great and got a fierce lobster face by the end. |
