9.10.11
not a bad string of numbers for a glorious ski day---
122
not a bad streak, for my friend and ski partner Lara, who is
8.5
months pregnant!

Lara is determined to keep her streak alive, and I am determined to show Dod the best of the Northwest. So the for a glorious day of sun, fun, and snow.

The amount of snow is staggering! While the road is plowed now up one more level, it is still not open to the Artists Point parking lot.
so it was a nice change to see the trail and the greener topography.

Snow is continuous in three prominent fingers from the Coleman ridge, and we took the longer one. The
Incredible day, especially for September!!! Thanks for the TR Jess- loved getting out there with you and Dod. Cross fingers that October treats us just as well!

Best outhouse photo ever.
