I can't believe this was my first ski run of the 16-17 season! Just returned from a two night stay at the Plateau Hut high in the Aoraki/Mt. Cook National Park. Pictured here is Mt. Dixon, a 3000 m peak of the Southern Alps. We skied the east ridge off the summit and then skied onto the face, taking the exposed ramp in between the gnarliest serac falls I've ever seen. By the time I reached the bergshrund at the bottom, my quads were on fire. I was stoked to share this fine line with a team from SLC! Thanks @cody_hughes @sethorton and Anna Keeling for going first, as @rob.lea and I weren't feeling so brave our first day back on skis for the winter. #skiaoraki16
