Left the house late in dense fog, ended up on a bright sunny mountain. Mostly I hiked, skied a little, and gaped. I am putting up these pics just to show what conditions were like on Rainier today.

Hey! I admitted to gaping.... Sometimes, it is a hard decision... ski or take pictures. I decided that my skiing was going to be limited after all that hiking and nice days on Rainier beg for pics.

I could hear those skis scraping the rocks from far away... ouch. I couldn't quite catch it on the cam, but it was kind of funny when a couple of you guys tried to ski down the traverse above Glacier Vista. I dunno... just can't do that to my skis. I guess I need to get ahold of some real beaters.

I was kind of amazed at the number of skiers up there Sunday. What a day to play!
