The Kraines Family Does Squaw

Ben Kraines, a good friend of Eric Rygg and Josh, who I met at Eric and Brittany's Wedding Extravaganza, came with his family to Squaw for a little ski vacation. I met up with them for 2 days and gave them the full mountain tour. We were so lucky to have perfect weather and the most amazing snow. And thanks to my flawless mountain tour, they all had a blast and will be back next year for sure! Thanks again to the Kraines family for giving me a fun couple of days as well.


Ben (far left) is normally famous for torturing his brothers with long ski days in harsh conditions, but Dan and Mike are all smiles today!

Dan, Mike, and Katharine going back for another on Headwall.


The boys were a little nervous checking out the large cornice on Cornice II...


But they jumped it and then ripped down the 'Hour Glass' anyway!

Dan, Ben, and Mike strike a pose for the "Lake View" shot.

Can't you just feel all the brotherly love here?




Of course, Dan is far from amused at his brothers' antics.


Last run of the day, Ben ate it and had a slide for life down Classic Chute. He was ok, but then had a nice long hike back up to retrieve his ski.


Ben, collapsed from exhaustion after the long hike!
