Looks like some nice water skiing. At least that's what we were calling it last weekend up at Snoqualmie where we had conditions that looked much like your photos. Ahh, the inbetween season.

Fun trip on yet another super double-omega secret route to, well, what would have been the goods on a colder day...but to the good times this day. 
Seems like the more time I spend at Paradise, the bigger it gets.
Thanks to ronj's curiously perceptive eye, I saw my first goat in the wild. Which was timely after reading last week's link to the Wikipedia article on the lifestyle of the mountain goat. This one seemed to really be enjoying that feast of lichen and grass. And seemed completely oblivious to the fact that it was perched on a wet and slick moss covered cliff, a fall from which would have been certain death. I guess the risk is worthwhile when there's good lichen to be gnawed off rocks.

Even though it wasn't the best Snow day ever, we all had a great time making the most of our lazy day attitude. You just gotta know how take your bushel of lemons and make some good lemonade  . A few more pictures here.

Absolutely. A "bad day" skiing is still better than most other "good days" in my book.

Mountain goats are cool until they chew on your climbing boots left at the base of a rock climb (Prusik Peak in my case), follow you into camp and then stalk you while you pee. Trust me on this one, and check out my climbing boots sometime for the aftermath.
