Decided to stay closer to home on Sunday. With the nice weather I was looking forward to the views in addition the skiing since I usually hit this area on stormy days.

I could skin up from the car to the summer trailhead with only two short carries. I booted from there.  The snow was slurpee consistency, but a fun day of hiking and skiing. Sure beat doing yardwork...

I was solo, so no action shots.

NW side of Cone

Wow, I really need to ski Jefferson.

Oh yah.... Iron Mt.-- WAY TO GO... might have to check that one out too!  Nice picks!!!!!!!!  BTW I believe one of the Skoogs skied the W. Rib on Jeff bunch of years back...I have the Coulior Mag with the story I believe--sort on my list too......

Nice Work - I was wondering how the coverage was holding up at Tombstone.  We had a blast riding pow up there this year.  What an epic winter, still able to make good turns at that elevation in June!  Hopefully we'll see you up there next year!
