Ben and I skied the West Face of Red Mountain on a bright, clear, bluebird day. A freeway of ski and snowshoe tracks led up Commonwealth Basin to the bottom of the face.

3 1/2 hours up (we moved a bit slowly that morning), a half hour in the sun on top and one hour back to the car.

Lots of different conditions going up and coming down and out, with two-foot deep mashed potatoes being the most challenging.

Lots of fun on a spring-like Cascade day.

Nice chatting with you guys. Were you on the Baker Lights or MX:11's?

He was on the BakerSLs, I was on the euro-noodles. 

GregL, Were you on the Kailasssss or the Trabs? 

Thanks for the track on that upper section, even if it was 15 degrees steeper then I would have set. ::)  You guys are animals!  :D

That was me on the Trabs, Kevin on the Atomics . . . the top went well, after we figured out we should have put on the ski crampons at the BOTTOM!

Great to meet you both.
