Had another great day out, this time on Columbia. The road is melting fast but snow-coverage at and above the trailhead is excellent and will probably stay that way for a while. Great climb, great ski, on a super-fun route. Hard to ask for much more.

Thanks for the write up Mike! It sure was a great day, except for the embarrassment of being pulled over.
