kevino Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Trip: Washington - Cascades Date: 4/19/2012 Trip Report: With the change of weather and me starting grad school, I think I can say winter has ended for me. Looking back I had almost seven months of touring in new snow with new and old friends. Here is a quick look back at my 2011-12 winter. Thanks to all my ski partners. Thankfully we still have lots of snow up here in the PNW, so here's to a good spring and summer of touring. This season, as with most ski trips, started in a parking lot, with gear on the ground, drinking a beer, waiting for weather to clear Followed of course by copious amounts of skinning Sometimes early season conditions existed Other times the skin track was deep We would skin in stormy weather But then the weather would start to clear... And the views, like always, were spectacular Some Mornings we would start early... But as the soon as the sun started to come up... It was all worth it... Once at the top we could celebrate And enjoy the fruits of our labor Eye future goals... There is always those few moments where you are taking everything in before you drop in... But we came up here for a reason... Early season corn? early season pow skiing couloirs skiing new areas or returning to old favorites Hope everyone had a good season...always happy to ski with new and old friends. If you see me out there say hi. I usually have an extra beer in my pack the author, probably telling some bad story or joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
