Conditions were better than expected today :)
Ski crampons were helpful.
The wind did its magic and made just enough smooth surface to have fun :D

Your downhill-walking shot up the Nisqually is mighty cool. Thanks!

It was better than I was expecting. Capped month 12 with a bluebird  pow day...definately didn't expect that

It was cool meeting and riding with you guys. I got some video as well. I'll post it after an edit in a couple days

Wohoo!  That snow looks beautiful.  Thanks for the post.

Way to go get it, guys. The WX pattern for the coming days is looking promising...

Trumpets blare and church-bells ring!  Better than expected...  I gotta get down there!

The music and mixing up the speeds gave it a PBS feel!  Nice!  It really felt like I was there, especially when you took a header - that's where I live, baby!

Thanks for the vid, Bird!  Now I can see what I missed out on... won't let the next one sneak by ;)

nice edit and soundtrack. Thank you. It was a beautiful day to log month 24

That was the first time I've seen the Bird get his wings clipped.
