I was just was down in southern Oregon near Crater Lake to shoot a travel piece with Otis Rubottom for Travel Oregon magazine. Totally a fantastic experience I would recommend it to anyone. The Diamond Lake Lodge is a total throwback and is authentically Oregonian. We had nonstop snowfall for three days with high winds... setting the stage for some pretty sketchy conditions. The guides did a fantastic job in finding us the safe goods- thanks go to Oz, Todd and Ross!
I have never had the opportunity to see an avalanche slide from below up close. An eerie experience to hear and feel it coming before I knew what it was. Granted a glade of trees kept us separate and safe I don't care to get any closer ever. The blast of powder in the runout was triple overhead.
okay, now thats just scary. cool. scary. cool. okay. scary and cool. no, scary. cool. whatev.
