Steven, Skiing trip

***** 

This was a Helicopter Skiing trip 

to Cananda. Here's Steven & Patti.

The Helicopter takes groups up the mountain and drops them off.

Mike, Steven, David A. were in the top group,

they had a vertical drop at about 120,000 vertical feet.

Patti and I were in the slow group, we had 80,000 vertical feet. 

The Helicopter company get paid on the drop distance.

We were doing runs of 4,000 vertical feet. Squaw Valley has a drop of about 2000.  

When we would get to the bottom of these long runs I would hope for a rest, but a copter would have us at the top in a very few minutes. My legs were like jelly.

For Saturday, January 10th

I believe this picture was taken at the top of the huge Pyramid of the Sun.

Mexico, about 1978.

It was a long way to the top. When we came down I crashed

 and the kids climbed to top of the Pyramid of The Moon

A comparison of "Pyramids", the one in question is the dark green shape.
