First Tracks In The Freshy Pow-Pow

FasterSkierOctober 28, 2009

I couldn’t help but use the above title as it used to be the reply-to name of a friend in college. But indeed it is a great feeling, as yesterday I pulled out the boards for a couple hours’ skiing on Washington Pass in pretty decent conditions. About 8″ had fallen the night before and Scott went up and packed things down well with the snowmobile to create a good platform. This morning we returned for a 2.5 hour ski in actual tracks as Scott had returned to drag a chain-link fence around the 1.5K loop and later set two classic tracks. Not too bad for the end of October!br /br /a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Mg2hQbkHkNs/SujVHDxfxcI/AAAAAAAAASQ/pXQPfgbZajc/s1600-h/Oct26_FirstSKI_WAPass+001.jpg”img style=”margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;” src=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Mg2hQbkHkNs/SujVHDxfxcI/AAAAAAAAASQ/pXQPfgbZajc/s320/Oct26_FirstSKI_WAPass+001.jpg” alt=”” id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397798470652249538″ border=”0″ //aOn Sunday we’re leaving for Silver Star, B.C. for a week-long skiing camp. Silver Star is looking forward to one of their earliest openings this weekend and we’re taking full advantage by packing up the new skis and gear and getting up there to grab as many snow-time hours as possible before the opening races in West Yellowstone, less than a month away. More stories and photos next week.br /br /a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Mg2hQbkHkNs/SujVQhVHlYI/AAAAAAAAASY/–asLWwyLXo/s1600-h/Oct26_FirstSKI_WAPass+003.jpg”img style=”margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;” src=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Mg2hQbkHkNs/SujVQhVHlYI/AAAAAAAAASY/–asLWwyLXo/s320/Oct26_FirstSKI_WAPass+003.jpg” alt=”” id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397798633205110146″ border=”0″ //adiv class=”blogger-post-footer”img width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2910103639238326543-885222668733498944?l=methowolympicdevelopment.blogspot.com’ alt=” //div
