EDIT #2: CANADIAN SKI PORN ON PAGE 2!!!!

Just thought I'd share some photos from this past week of ski touring around WA, especially for people who don't check out the PNW thread. I wrapped up finals week on the 7th, followed shortly by a failed climbing trip. Then it was game on for skiing. Started up in NE Washington, then hit the cascades all over, including Baker, Crystal and Alpental areas. It was great getting back over to the cascades after spending the last three months in Spokane. Thanks to all my ski partners from this past week, both new and old and the people I met out there. More to come for the rest of this month...

Added some more photos of recent touring down below...

Was that photo taken from space? Crazy perspective.

Awesome shots!!

Nice work!

Great shots man, keep'em coming. You're doing it correctly!

Good skiing with you guys, Kevin. Here are a few more shots from the Slot a while back. Colchuck looked nice, glad to see you enjoyed that break in the clouds. Have fun in Canada!

STOKE !!!

we need more of this around here.
the number of TR's seems to be dwindling.

Thanks for the pictures Joe, they look great!

Amazing stuff. Positively jealous. Keep 'em coming!!!

Gorgeous pictures

Thanks for the stoke, Kevin!

I'm happy I decided not to join you for that 12-hour Xmas Eve sufferthon. Colchuck is orders of magnitude burlier than what I had in mind. :yourock:

agree with all...great job on the photos especially if they were all shot on a panasonic handheld

haha Zak one of these days you'll WANT to do a 12 hour sufferthon!

All the photos, with the exception of Joe's, were indeed shot with a panasonic handheld. hopefully should have lots more stories and photos after the first of the new year...
