Yesterday we had to walk a ways up the ski runs from the parking lot to find snow. On the upper slopes and glades we could find some lines to ski. I’m not holding the camera in the gnarly bits — I needed my hands for the ski poles. So the moving ski stuff is fairly tame… but this will give you a sense of what is left of the winter up there. Next week if we want to ski we will have to go into the higher hills up North. This filthy snow gummed up the base of the skis. If we go to bigger mountains and above the tree line in the days ahead we’ll probably have cleaner snow.
Last ski of the season above Cypress Bowl

thanks for sharing – how are the bottoms of your skis?
Filthy! I’ll need to scrub with some citrus solvent to remove that stuff.
Hi Robert and Milton what fun to see where you went after we had our great chat in the parking lot. Fabulous shots. Most of all I am impressed with your climb. You are a great pair. Cheers, Elizabeth
