Three of us started skinning from the road about 7:30am. Shawn (vegabond) and Greg (sudnstop) as we start to come out of the trees and are treated with a great view of the goal.
Around 13k we had to take off the skis / board for a short bit.
I made the summit around 11:30 (where Shawn was waiting for me with his split board ready).
Riding the rock hard snow.
Cruising the flats on the boot packed trail. The trail is also visible on the far left.
Our tracks from the summit.
More low angle turns.
Finding our way back to the TH.
As I mentioned in my earlier post about the conditions, we skied from the summit to the car except for that short jaunt around 13k. Enjoyed a variety of snow conditions. The coverage wasn't great up high but for the most part the rocks were easily avoided.

Saw you guys on top. Me and my buddy dropped skiers left of the trail after the ridge at 13,100. Got way off trail, but better pitch and sick turns. Ended up dropping into the cross country ski road and snowshoe‘d it out.
Unfortunately I was not feeling well and turned around @ 12900. Great going with you guys and the pics make me even more upset about not making the summit!
