Yes - bring it on. Looks like a little more snow and that patch could become real fun. Nice work getting out on it early.

Nicely done. I like how the ol' patch up there makes it look like you're skiing some Euro glacier...

I'm confused. Did you make some turns in windslab over ice and rocks?

Nice Vets! You are one dedicated man....although, maybe if you'd hit it a couple days earlier you would have had fresh light powder over ice and rocks...:p

We saw one set of tracks up there that looked a a couple of days old. Were those yours?

Idris, it was interesting.

Do you think that was the Winterstieger frog that we saw there?
