With winds gusting up to 40 at Crystal Monday on night I wasnt sure what we would find on Tuesday¦
We arrived to temps hovering around 3 deg, mostly sunny skies, moderate winds and insanely awesome near bottomless blower-dust powder! (Well, at least by PNW standards).
Great to chat with several TAYers including - Scottsman, Joedabaker, Dave, Amar and Kyle. Wrapped things up on Exterminator which gave an otherwise surreal day a good backcountry feel. (This run needs a couple more feet and was full of semi-hidden hazards- but skied okay with careful line selection.)
summary: awesome.

Nice to meet you bobS but sssshhhhhhhhh...keep it quiet....we don't want Silas to find out!
Good to meet you guys.
Yeah, my goggles were getting pushed up my face going through the carwash of powder!
Didn't get any action shots, due to the excess of face shots.
Definitely Dick Cheney skiing, lots of face shots.
Used the NTN Scarpa TX-Pro's for AT that day.

Oops! I think he is onto it- but with no photos to prove it, it may be a scam. Notice how I didn't spell out the exact location and subtly tried to direct him to exterminator by implying that it wasn't that good?
"Dick Cheney Skiing"...That's a good one! Ouch!
And a pleasure to meet "le mostro di biscotti "!
Pleasure to meet you as well BobS ... you are also a machine!
Great day out there - here's a few more pics.
