I had the distinct pleasure of having kx125rider1313 from the forum join me today for his very first outing into the backcountry . KxRider previously was on BWP's for two seasons and got Condors for Christmas ... although he has ridden his Condor at the resort he has never been out in the backcountry. Let me tell you Kxrider rides the Condor in untracked backcountry pow like he has been doing it forever. I have never ever seen another skiboarder in the backcountry Having another skiboarder join me and both of us rocking on new 2010 Condors was an over the top experience , for sure . Kxrider was was cool to try snowshoes for the first time .. carrying his Condors , while I was on my Receptor touring bindings on my Condors . We were joined by Bill and Rich both on Hagan 130's .
Here is the road in to Echo Lake near South Lake Tahoe . .This is a popular cross country ski destination .
Here is Kxrider's cool pack , carries everything nice and snug in a small pack . Even has a shovel inside. ..
Here is Billy and Rich heading out over the frozen lake ...
Rich and Kxrider heading up the trail ( actually there was no trail , no one had been this way and we were all breaking trail up the mountain , )
Rich and Billy nearing our high spot for lunch .
Kxrider locked and loaded on his Condors and ready to Shred ... snowshoes on the pack ..
Unfortunately , we did not catch much video of our descent , all of us just having too much fun in the untracked pow .... but here are a few clips we did get..
Heading back home across the lake
Pausing by the snowbound Echo Chalet .. great day for all of us !
Thanks for joining us Kxrider !
