Wow, what a day. Pulled up to Hyak and found poor vis with about 20 people getting ready in the lot. Decided to head up Commonwealth instead and had the place to ourselves all day long. Took 3 entire hours (!!!) to break a trail to the top of the trees on the west slopes of Kendall, but after that things were gravy. Many laps of stupid deep tree skiing with great vis while it snowed all day left us smiling big.

Only got substantial sluffing crossing one short steeper slope (35ish?). Other than that nothing really moved all day.

How thick are the plants on the way in/out?

No notable plant difficulties. Enjoy!



It's been a long time, baby, but I want you back.

Nice day! That last shot looked exactly like the high tree skiing on Millionaire Ridge at Whistler but a lot closer.  Snow looked the same as well.

So well used, but for such good reason.  When Kendall's good, its good.  Thanks for conditions update.

Great shots!  Makes me feel like a wuss for using hats and goggles.
