First time ever Touring!!!


So here is the map from google earth and our route is shown from my GPS. Unfortunately this doesn't show what the landscape looks like in the winter with 90+ inches of snow on it. Check out how our path actually crossed the Pacific Crest Trail(aka. famous trail, spans from Mexico to Canada) for a minute.

Saturday Sean and I decided we wanted to finally use our Randene touring bindings and Skins. We started from the top of the Quicksilver chair and headed out to Dog Leg Mountain, we skied up to SuperBowl and then up to the top of Dog Leg Peak. The skiing down was great awesome practically bottomless powder. When we got up to the top of Dog Leg Peak I got out of my skis and sunk right up to my waist in snow, super deep!

Superbowl weekend, great skiing

I hear there was a football game this weekend but all that meant was there were less people on the hill!
