North Cascade Heli

Just got back from an epic 5 day trip to North Cascade Heli with Benchetler, Pollard, Sammy, Dakine, Nimbus, and Freeskier. With only 4 days to fly, we were cutting it close. The first two days we made it out, but were quickly brought back down due to the wind and lack of visibility. On the third day there was no chance we were flying. On the fourth day it looked like our worst day yet. Sammy packed up his car and took off, we had to make a sacrifice I guess. Within a half an hour, the clouds broke and the sun was out. It was on.

Benchetler and Pollard might be two of my new favorite people to ride with. Pollard has got everything on lock down. He was our fearless leader of the group, being the most experienced. The night before the sunny day, he led us into oblivion cracking open the first beer. I'd say, he knows when it's time to drink it blue. Job well done. The sun gods we shining down on us and laughing at us at the same time.

Benchetler works hard, super hard. Always on the go and ready for anything. He also looks like the Hulk with his shirt off, as our TM Randy Torcom found out when he tried to wake him up, but almost payed the consequences with a toilet dunking.

Anyways, the sun was shining and the snow was epic. Don't forget to download the new Nimbus webisode. It's sick!!! Here are some shots from our trip. Thanks to Randy Torcom from Dakine for the good times!! For more photos and words check out www.michelle-parker.com.
