We had an awsome ski day on Cougar Mtn in early January. The windy top of a mtn is the perfect place for pets, right?
This was Mara's first run with new skis, bindings, boots, skins, pack and poles. Looks like it went well. Though, this was before she had the boots heat molded and after this point she was looking for sharp objects to try and saw off her feet.
Christmas Day. After a quick backcountry tour, soaking in the hottub with beer and munchies hit the spot for Rich.
Maggie, loving the snow.
This is how we often get into the mountains up here in the Cascades, since there's not much road access like in the Wasatch (sp?) mtns. Usually we trailer the snowmobiles to the end of the road where it's closed in winter, and the unload the machines and ride or get towed up another 3-8 miles, then skin up. We had a big group this day, Adam (waving) came over from Seattle.
Cheers!
I was actually still skiing here, the snow was just so deep it looks like I'm not skiing. Talk about face shots!
