Sam Drops the Chute.  Sam gave me first tracks down the chute, but quickly followed suit.  We skied the line between the two rock bands, all the way down to Helen Lake, nearly 2,000' below.

 

Fred in the Chute.  Fred followed us down, making nice turns in the buttery corn snow.

 

 

 

 

 

Dancing Towards Helen Lake.  Here's Fred dancing down to the still frozen lake.

Admiring our Handiwork.  Looking back up at the Helen Lake chute.

Traverse above Spillway Lake.  Getting back to camp, we traversed above Spillway Lake (seen far below) to get in some final turns before calling it a day.  Tomorrow's objective -- the Bingaman Couloir -- is visible above Sam's head.

Shreddin' Fred and the Kuna Crest.  Fred doing what he likes to do -- ripping the corn in the Sierra Nevada.

Heading Back to Camp.  Fred touring around Spillway Lake on the way back to camp.  Our tracks can be seen all the way from the top of the ridge, down to Spillway Lake.  What a day!

"A Good Kind of Tired".  Back at camp, we were absolutely exhausted, but as we noted, it was a "good kind of tired".
