After last weekends Mount Ruth great weather and ski, I decided I wanted more. Started relatively late for a big warm day, and left the trail head at 8 am. Consistent snow started at about 5300' but it was slow going up to Meany Crest. Once on the crest it was pretty fast travel to the base of Little Tahoma. Boot packing the last 2000' was the easier way to go. Absolutely no wind and warm temperatures all day. Was able ski from 30 feet off the summit minus 1 short rock patches through the slot.

That's a fun ski.
