@shredcity Hey man look up signature line by Jones . he states in it, that he snowboards threw the crux of a sick line with ice axe in Hand. Further proving that he rides the most technical lines with one in hand . Heres the quote you can find on his facebook page. "Coming into the diagonal ramp there was no room for error. Ice axe in hand I made it through the crux. Riding out the bottom, the stars aliggned , i was thrilled that the line came together." Trust me it is true.

@shredcity Np guy but heres a quote form Jones snowboard at fantasy anartica fantasy lines. "Xavier and I rode the chute in the middle of the face. The snow was great allowing us for a rare opportunity to ride a line with out axes. This was the only slope we tested the the pitch of. It was measured 52 degrees." trust me man anything over 55 degrees most peeps have an axe on hand. Look Chamonix and you will lines beeing done that can only be done with AXE.

@IveGotTheNuts Good comments nuts, but I still know of very few riders or skiers that ride with an axe. Watching the teton gravity movies, which imo have always been the cutting edge of big mountain, and a lot of jones' parts over the last 10 years, not many big mountain pros seems to routinely ride with them either. I've never encountered a face so steep that it only retained ice- usually if they can't hold powder then the underlying rock is exposed and they are unrideable anyway.

don't forget big travis

actually you are wrong and I ll explain. Any technical line IE over 55 DEGREES will not hold powder very well. In fact very technical steep lines over 60 degrees will not hold any snow. Powder only sticks to slopes under 48 degrees.. As for impalement sure it is possible but not very likely if you are in SELF arrest as your ice pick will be in the snow. How many big mountain lines are done holding ICE AXE many. Actually only the most technical lines can only be done with an ICE AXE.
-
@IveGotTheNuts Gotta disagree buddy. Ice axes are only relevant on wind swept icy faces and yes you're right they let you arrest your fall, but in deep powder or anything technical they do little to help and are more likely to cause accidental impalement than be of use. How many big mountain lines are done while holding ice axes? only a few
Lets see Shaun Whites candy ass try that.
