We did out first ski tour of 2011 in what has become one of our favorite areas, upper White Pine Canyon. Its been super cold lately, so we got a later start and the sun actually warmed things up a bit in the late morning, which made for a pleasant ascent. We topped out a bit short of Red Baldy's summit, and skied some perfect powder all the way back down (freezing temps = cold smoke powder). A short but sweet day!
Andrea got me a sweet new GPS for Christmas... which means I get to keep track of lots more statistics! :-) This is an overview of our route (Red = up, Green = down).
The Triple Traverse and Tanners slide path
The upper meadow
Beautiful day
Breaking a trail
The Pfeifferhorn peaking out
The skiing was good...
... really, really good
On the way out, trying out the stickpic (which I highly recommend!)
