But you have to say it like gomer pyle...

Doing this Silas' style with my smarty phone.

Typical early spring day. Lower elevation had a crust going in, had great riding conditions up high. Rode a couple short but steep lines with really good conditions. great transportaion  on the return. Tree skiing was fun spring snow all the way down to 3.5k.


Key words:

TH, creek, lake, gap, summit, north east, steep short couloirs, stable powder. Sunburn, 2.5

Thanks Leyland for yet another great day and call!

Fun day. I wish my body was up for that second lap. This cold is lingering for far too long.

Nice line! Did you guys pull into the Casa de Scott.  I was in there a couple of weeks ago, figured I would pull in and the place was covered in three feet of snow.

Here is a better photo with morning light on the two runs.

Scott did both, I only did the one on the right.
