Washington Pass backcountry skiing 12/23/09

After having an epic day of powder at Washington Pass two years ago, Kathryn and Rick were back for more.  They were able to squeeze in a day just before Christmas.

Recent ski shots

Well the skiing isn't quite as epic as it was in late November when the video below was made, but we are still managing to hunt out some good turns here and there.  Below are a few shots from recent outings that show how any day in the mountains beats the heck out of a day at the office!

This photo, taken right around Thanksgiving, show Larry Miller and NCMG guide Jeff Ward high above the clouds on Delancy ridge during a big inversion.  The air temps were quite warm, but the north facing slopes still held cold powder.

This photo, taken on December 4th in Liberty Bowl, shows NCMG summer office guy Dave Betts touring up with the Early Winter Spires in the background.  The upper slopes of Liberty Bowl skied well with several inches of cold, buttery snow laying over the fun, rolling terrain.

Here NCMG guide Larry Goldie and faithful companion Scooby set a track up below Liberty Bell and Concord towers.
