I'll keep another Elodorado report brief. Rich and I took a weather and work break before the wet weekend forecasted. We had beautiful blue sky once above 6000', except the summit which was in light cloud most of the day. Met a lone border coming down, and saw two skiers going up as we were skiing down. There is still a lot of snow skiable down to the top of the boulder field.

Hey Kenji looks like you had a great trip, nice pix!

Thanks. It was a nice trip, though I'd agree earlier would be easier when there is more snow to cover the boulders.
Right after I took the first picture, I had a half-fall and tweaked my right knee. It appears the MCL got over-stretched. I'm out of commission for a little while, certainly not as bad as my left knee years ago. Hiking out over slick boulders and steep trail was a bit of chore (pain in the knee!).
