"One to grow on"

This year it was a border-crossing birthday spanking.

A pleasant start after a few hours on skins.

A faraway mountain
Image

E_$ skis toward Thunder Lake.

Not nearly early enough the next morning, glad we didn't take that drainage.
Image

My working hypothesis, once again verified. We cross the border swath into the USA and life begins to suck.
Image

Bailing, tucking tail, discretion is the better part of valor: too bad we didn't have any discretion during the two preceding days.

"The 5.10 move"

Peace

A zone to inspire future failure?
Image

This one demands another look, too.
Image

We bailed. We did not climb anything. Here, E_$ enjoys powder before we make circles in the flat valley for an hour, contemplate my compass and which arrow goes with north, and finally reach the car well after midnight.
Image

Yup, one to grow on.

Ouch. Looks like good powder in the last shot.

Damn, it's been too long since I've experienced a real cascade-style beatdown. I need to get back to my corner in the rainforest where I can cry alone.

Seriously though; that looks like some cool territory there.
