Sorry it took so long to post but I got injured up at Crystal yesterday and have nothing else to do .Taking advantage of the rare bluebird pow day (okay 2 inches) Dan and myself did a nice scenic tour around the areas south of Crystal. We rode down SE facing slopes (sucked)  W facing (even worse) S facing (o.k.) and North facing (nice deep pow if it didn't slide). The views were great and there was minimal stability concerns.
Skinning out of the Silver Basin

The deep pow on west facing slopes

Skinning is overrated

but the views were amazing

Soon (hopefully)

North facing slopes


Wow, you got some nice pics on that trip!  I like the one of Dan looking towards Chinook/Sourdough.
