Palmer Creek

We didn't have to hike very far till we hit the snow line. It wasn't deep but the word of the day to describe it was, "supportable".

 


It was cool to ski somewhere I had never gone before. The mountains back there were pretty sweet. The road closes sometime in early winter, but with a snow machine the access could stay good all season long.

Ryan at the top of the Ridge, unknown peak we skied for lap 2 in the background.

 


Super fun to get out and do some skiing with Raina and Dan

 


The last run of the day was truly amazing. A sucker hole opened up and bathed our run in golden alpenglow. The snow was smooth and creamy, the angle perfect. Such a reward for the long skin up.
