Tacoma Mountaineers threw a good part of thier forces onto Hogsback Mountain and surrounding bowls. We attacked it from all angles.Skiing was superb and snowpack bombproof.About 3" freshies on hard base. Among our forces were first turners and gristled veterans. Schotzie(aka the "duchess") led the charge turning down a one way pass for a all dayer pass and then using it for just one ride. No money lost there! Second in senoirty Gary Vogt turned down any lift ticket and said "I'll meet you up there'. Well it was more like greet us up there as the main body of the cluster unwound up the hill.
Continuing after a inadvertant post !
We skied the whole classic banana. I'm hoping that area never becomes developed.After skiing we retired to a mass dinner in Eatonville basking in our sunburt faces and beer.
