Nice shot. I had thought about skiing that patch Friday (those are my tracks traversing above you) but when I got on it, I realized it was really short. Did you make it any further to the longer fingers?
yeah, we pretty much replicated your Friday tour out to Goat Throat, with an added side trip up over Table Mtn, with our first tracks of the day down a west-facing patch about 300ft v. Conditions were same as previously described, mostly a great day hike with the added bonus of some turns... Can't wait to go there in winter!!
I decided on delaying my October turns until we hopefully have a little more snow coverage. However, I had a pretty good view of the north side of the Coleman Pinnacle and Baker from Yellow Aster Butte Sunday. We hit snow around 5,000' but nothing skiable around there yet.
Nice shot, Alpenho!! Now I'm finally starting to wake up from the summer hibernation.
