The Landry line off Pyramid Peak is the classic line that I skied on April 21, 2022. This was a lovely day out with a good friend Victor Major to link up Pyramid Peak with the centennial summit Thunder Pyramid (13,932’) that lies just to the south. The day was fluid, we cruised to the top of Landry in quick time: I skied Landry and Victor skied the East Face just to the south. We congregated in the basin and cruised around to the basin beneath the Northeast face of Thunder Pyramid, ascended, and skied the West Face. It summed out to a beautiful 8,600’ day in the Elks.
Moving with Victor (IG: @vwmajor) in the mountains is a pleasure as he makes hard ski descents look fairly easy.
Since I only had two days in the Elks this spring, I tried to make the most of it and was very happy to linkup the Hat Trick on April 20th followed by the Landry/Thunder linkup on April 21.

Badass
Pretty please – get another background tune for other upcoming vids. Pretty pretty please.
Hey! Love what you do Mike, phenomenal! Can’t wait to watch your next 10 years! What’s the name of the song @michaelcwirth? Can’t seem to find it and the Spotify link doesn’t work. Cheers and thanks for putting these out there!
I think those adventures deserve to have a better film crew and people who will be filming it! I hope you will get some professionals in the future to follow you or at least to do the editing work. Regarding music for example, I would listen it in a car, but not use for a ski video, sometimes music doesn't compliment the video at all. Just my 2 cents.

wow whats that follow cam setup?
Great video. Again, the insight into the line and planning is phenomenal. Further, the amount of vert you can do in a day…rather easily…is inspiring.
strange first 40%
The sexual tension between these two
That conversation was more awkward then a double date with your Ex. Great video though, definitly made it look casual. Nothing about Victors skiing suggested he nailed the timing and the conditions were perfect.
11:59 absolutely sick. Takes so much courage and confidence to try such things.
They keep getting better:)
Killing it! Loving the FATMAP explaination
wild. great lines
