Spring Skiing

My shins are killing me, It's from snowplowing and side hilling down off Sugarbowl late this afternoon. I caught the sun a bit on my face. It was a fabulous day. This was our second attempt at trying to find the big glade we skied last year. We wanted to find it from the road so we could spend all day skiing it. We wanted to avoid the steep arduous trail and the trek along the ridge.

This morning we hiked 1 killometre up the trail then headed East. We crossed a lot of gullies, they all look the same, we were sure we had missed it so we started hiking upward. Somehow we managed to stumble onto the bottom of the glade and into the sun.

We spent the rest of the day hiking up to base of the cliffs, no further, because one of us forgot their avalanche beacon, and skiing down. The snow was surprisingly decent. The sun was warm It was a very nice early spring day.
