It's May - Still Skiing!

It may not have been the best of conditions, but thre is still plenty of snow back country. The Red Mountain Pass Snotel site still reports over 70 inches of snow. I spent this morning just off of that same pass making some ski turns on my old alpine skis. I had some help getting uphill from my Alpine Trekker attachments and climbing skins. The trekkers weigh a good bit, so it was quite a work out. As they say, I earned these turns. Yes, you'll notice that I do have my avalanche beacon on and a shovel in my pack. My brother was nearby with the same stuff.
