Tortoise and myself met up around 10am on saturday morning to get some turns in. The snow was amazing. Some sun crust was developing towards the end of the day but as long as you stayed in the shade it was money, knee deep and still pretty fluffy. We ended up doing 2 laps, roughly 2k feet descent total. Tortoise, thanks again for the burrito.

I didn't get any action shots because my camera is too big/expensive to be taking out with me, I need to get a cheapo one.

incline peak:


i think tortoise has some pics to add from the summit.

hell yes, the conditions were top notch. deep pow, blue skies, stable snowpack. what a day to be in the backcountry. that was so much better than waiting in line for sloppy seconds at a ski resort. if i had any doubt before, i'm now completely sold--splitting is the light and the way.

btw, did you get out there again today?? how was it?

I did and it was good, not quite as good as on saturday but still alot of fun.

Right on, guys. Way to get after it.



I can see BCR smiling like a proud papa

Nice work guys!!!


but we gotta do something about that start time.

tortoise was driving up from san jose and sometimes I like to be a little lazy on the weekends
