Cardiac Ridge

As the sun rose so did we, on our way to ski cardiac ridge.

Noah Howell and Paul Kimbrough heading to the ridge.

Jason West making the last push to the top.

Jason dropping into a line we call Victoria's secret, because snowboarder Victoria Jealouse crushed the line in a movie awhile ago. Jason had never skied the line, so he was psyched to give it a go.

Jason making it look easy.

Jason safely out and cruising through the apron.

Andy Jacobsen was up next and while on top of the ridge he got a cornice to release unintentionally and it ripped down what Jason just skied leaving only rock.

It ran all the way to the apron. After almost falling down with the cornice Andy was up next and killed the line lookers right of the debris.

Paul was next and chose a line none of us had ever seen skied before.

Paul getting through the pepper and into the apron.

Paul psyched on the day and conditions.

Jason coming out of Thunderstruck.

Paul getting a little air in his next line. We skied almost every possible line on the ridge and then the clouds rolled in so we called it a day. We have probably had at least one line from Cardiac in every one of our movies. It's just one of those zones that calls your name no matter how many times you've done it.
