5) Jeremy Nobis ends the season early

Northface’s Interview with Jeremy:

Greg:
So give me the technical details of this crash landing.

Jeremy:
OK, I was skiing a spine of snow, went to a position where the snow changed in a runnel and then my tails hooked. I did a somersault, then I went to try to stop myself but couldn’t. I lost my skis, tried everything-digging my heels in, everything. I could see the bergscrund coming up, I was worried that I might not have enough speed to clear the hole, so I had to give up and slide over it. I made it over, though and came to a stop.

Greg:
Sounds risky!

Jeremy:
Yeah. I left both skis stuck in the face. It was late in the day and there was no time to go up and get them. It was a pretty serious bit of mountain.

Greg:
What was it called, that peak?

Jeremy:
It doesn’t have a name. There’s lots of unnamed peaks up there in the Haines area, and this was a big fat one.
