That's what I thought, but wasn't sure . . . looks a bit too far out of the bowl for right gully. Anyone know if it's LH 1, 2 or 3? (Never done any of 'em meself). Prolly impossible to tell, I guess.
Note photog's name: Hugh Johnson. Wonder if he's related to Hugh Jass.

I wonder if that's Hugh Johnson from Smuggler's Notch? He's a local celeb. Nickname: Huge Johnson.

Actually, I bet it is. He's submitted cover shots before. See the 12th photo on this page:

NICE!

I'm guessing LH 2, maybe 3. Its definitely not RG or Lobster claw (aka LH1 ? )

Thanks for clearing that up. Even though no clarification was necessary, because nobody ever said he was the rider. :rolleyes:


Hugh is a skier, brah! :D
