In stark contrast to €œTelemack€™s€ rather dreary (pun intended  ;D) TR from Coleman Pinnacle, my sortie into the Olympics yesterday highlighted by:
   Brilliant Sunshine  8)
   Great visibility
Soft snow
Small suncups
No need for shoes or skins, just a quick hike from the car in ski boots to the top of the snow
Two runs were hardly enough, but opportunities at sea level were calling.
   Not a single mosquito   :D
                  AND
My TR comes Complete with Pictures!
     Wildflowers in bloom
     Snow field
     Mt Olympus

I€™m not a poet (and I definitely know it€¦€¦€¦€¦  ;)) so I won€™t even try to duplicate Mack€™s muse.

You captured the August experience! 

If I'd posted pictures it would have been really discouraging    ::)

Nice Gary!

Thanks for the update.  I hope to get out there this month.  We're off to the Canadian Rockies next week and then back with a couple of weeks to spare in August.  Perhaps I'll squeeze in an August trip to OP. 

Definitely want to get out there again this Fall.
