First day of spring skiing in Oakes Gulf

Skiing in Oakes Gulf...always a good time. Oakes is special because it has some steep runs, but you can get around the area by skinning rather than bootpacking. This was basically the first day of real spring condition on the Rockpile, so the corn was unfortunately rather immature.

After slogging up the Ammo Ravine trail and getting some sun at the Lakes hut, skinning up around to the summit of Monroe, Washington in the background.

Skiing in March

On Pi day, Greg, Coz, Raphael, and I skied Cardigan.

The trappings of a classic NH powder day: rain clouds, granite and water ice.
