Sweet Pow Day

Had a fantastic day out touring with Steve and Timmy. 5 Mile Basin has been the place to be of late because it just keeps delivering the goods. It snowed about a foot over the past week of super nice, light blower powder. Our first run we dropped into a mellower line to get a feel for the snow and do a bit of observing. The snow felt solid, just minor surface sluffing, and ski cutting produced no results. The snow was just too cold to form into a surface slab. So, we headed back up for another couple runs on something a little bit steeper and, fortunately, deeper. We found great snow up to knee deep in some spots. Definitely a great day of ski touring. I'll let the photos tell the story.

"Why is powder so fun?" said Timmy.



"I do concur," replies Joshua.

Timmy loves pow...


But where did he go?
