Finally on the Alice Lake trip is Boney Elbows. It had the biggest slabs out of the trails we went on and made me really appreciate my front brake.
This tail was definitely a crash course in slab riding. These are by far the biggest slabs I've ridden, and I didn't die, so I was happy overall with my increased level of comfort on these features by the end of the day!
Again, our group was able to get videos of each other from multiple angles on these slabs, so it really helps give a good idea of how long and steep they really were. Enjoy the sketchy sends!
Thanks to John, Paul, Ty, and Clare for letting me use their videos for this edit!
