Purple is still in the Liberache quiver I am rocking, haha. Funny, it's hard to see but I have purple pants on in all these pictures. I just like mixing it up

Cat is going now, yes. Think they are charging $300 for a day until late March when it drops to $225. Either way, if they are running cats into the No Name area on the back of their Cat Terrain then that is MORE than worth the money. I may do that later this season.

This TR is very good! Nice photos!

**jimmyihatetoregister** · 01-14-2014, 10:50 AM

Great photos. How do you keep that 6D camera safe while skiing?

**smmokan** · 01-14-2014, 11:08 AM

Most of the time I carry my camera in a top-load LowePro bag, and put that into my backpack (a smaller Dakine pack). I'm somewhat limited in terms of the lenses I can carry since the top-load bag only carries one smaller extra lens, but it's been a pretty ergonomic and light setup.

My main issue is remembering to zip the backpack after I take the camera out, so my friends don't ski by and dump powder into the pack.

**cocavaak** · 01-14-2014, 11:36 AM

48" in 72 hrs yesterday clear 10* F no wind. When the cat rolled by on the Mirkwood hike I was thinking those folks are gonna have an amazing day.

I hope this keeps up as Monarch is starting to resemble a PNW style pillowtopia

**treewell-dweller** · 02-05-2014, 10:44 AM

monarch-bound this wknd, hoping for more over-delivery. anyone else gonna be down there?

**kzittle** · 02-05-2014, 11:21 AM

Also headed there this weekend and also hoping for more over-delivery.

**whipski** · 02-05-2014, 12:56 PM

here's a pic of lift lines for 6" yesterday

**cyborg** · 02-05-2014, 02:53 PM

I have three days to use, I should definitely try to get down there soon

**swartzl6** · 02-06-2014, 05:43 PM

Heading to Monarch this weekend! Open snow is predicting 18-36" of snow by Tuesday, which should make for a great time. Should I bring avy gear to ski Mirkwood?
