Nov 24, 2007 Bullion Basin
« on: 11/24/07, 01:02 PM »

Sunny and warm right now atop Bullion.  One run off the north side was boot top powder until halfway down, then very wind affected.  Headed for Thompsons (nw side) now, might lose cell coverage. More details later.

Thompsons had four or five good turns up high (wind protected by trees?) then wind compressed trap crust, ugh!  We bailed for the car and got nice stone grinds on the trail, walked the final 600' vertical.  Thursday and Friday provided no such bad snow in PowderBowl and north slopes of Naches Peak.  Great light powder all three days, good exercise, good friends, no complaints. 

Sunday update:  good snow this day too, just a bit less of it.  Pics attached from Thur, Fri, and today.
