Matt soon mastered the balance of snowboarding with a large pack (I think he had brought his only good pack, huge at 5000 cubic inches, even though it was nearly empty). Here he's carving some fine turns. Snow conditions this day were absolutely fabulous, smooth windpack covered by a couple of inches of eminently carvable recent snow, which had even surprisingly turned to perfect corn in many areas.
