We made two runs off the back side, and one on front. About as deep as it gets round here - hard to breath and see when the face shots turn to head emersions! It just kept on comin' all day - at least 8 inches while we were out. We ski cut many surface sluffs and stuck to the trees as much as possible. A full on blizzard greeted us back at the car, then a long slow drive down from the pass, but all was good with the memory of an incredible day.
Great shots. Very cool!

Very nice! I like the way you thumbnailed the sequance shot too. Photos 1 though 6 where money!

Yup. Who needs Europe snow, though the apfel strudel in Skykomish isn't quite as good as Austria. :)

Love the fourth photo of full submersion, nice!

Cool.  You prolly skied over our lines from Saturday, which, I presume, were adequately covered.  ;D  We did four laps on the N side with an exit out Nason Creek and hitchhiked back to the car.  It was snowing like mad all day.

Should have skipped the beer in Skykomish and gone up in the afternoon, damn it... Ah well.  Nice photo series!

What a day!!! I am still digging POW out of my gear!!!

JimD working on that head emersion thing.

Some more eye candy from a great day.
       

More Powder Porn, since we are now lacking!
