Date: 3/21/2009

 

Trip Report:

Photos on Flickr Click "Slideshow"

The Mercer Park+Ride team of five enjoyed the "Transitional" Snow pack while skinning in past the masses in Commonwealth Basin. Summiting the steep Red Mt in 4+ hrs uphill, boot stepping the last 400 feet to a great summit. The views were smacktacular. The ski-down from summit wasn't as terrifying as we all thought it was going to be. We had to work the crap down low hard, but we really enjoyed it . Bring on Spring!There should be a tr on TAY soon from Lisa and or Victor. Nice skiing with David and Jamie too!

 

Gear Notes:

axe, cramps recommended.

nice pics.

 

we skied Arrowhead yesterday, no photos as i forgot the camera. it was a beautiful sunny day and the conditions were actually pretty decent. there was a firm crust up high that we mostly stayed on top of. down lower the crust was firmer and the snow was more corn like.

 

All in all a good day, i am ready for some spring too.
