It is wonderful most places in North America have had excellent early-season skiing. Here in the PNW, we’ve not had it as good as some of you. Still, over the past few weeks we’ve managed to find a few powdery spots. Here’s the photos, just to show we’ve still got it.
Finding nice pow in the North Cascades. Click images to enlarge.
Enjoying unseasonable sunshine with Mt. Baker behind.
Pretty mountains.
Friends, solitude, and fresh snow.
Finding lovely turns (and a few sharks).
Last turns of the day. Hopefully those dark clouds in the background are a sign of more to come.
