Avatar me snowboarding inside Mount Rainier National Park in the early 1990's. A friend loaned me her infrared remote trigger for Nikon SLR. So I dragged my camera and a tripod out into the wilderness, pointed it at the lip of a big slope, stomped out a mini little kicker, and give it a shot.
The remote worked fine. Got a pretty cool sequence on film. If you look closely you can see how my trailing hand was pointing the remote at the camera. Unintentionally a better look than if that hand had been trailing behind me.
When I look at this picture though mostly what I think is how stupid I was to be there all by myself, having done zero avalanche testing, launching onto a big, slightly convex slope with several feet of heavy powder. You get away with it more than not, a lot more than not really, but all it takes is once.
