Ken Z and I took a nice sunny day ski around Naches peak. Clockwise skiing down to lower level to avoid sidehilling the PCT. Plenty of snow in the back NE bowl so we took extra laps. Soft suncups and runnels = no stress. WE finished up by schussing clockwise and low on continuous snow, A short skin up took us to the NW facing saddle over Little Tipsoo. On snow the whole way A lot of the upper south facing is melted out rock bands. Back bowl still has some cornices hanging but folks have skiing through the gaps.
Another fun geezer day.
