TR: Schuylkill Ridge (2 Jan 2010)

(Last Updated On: November 2, 2017)

Since both of our sleds are non-functioning at the moment, our backcountry skiing options are a bit limited. But this week’s snowfall and last nights 4-to-6-inch storm made us powder hungry. Knowing that it was still going to be snowing, we stuck to the trees of Skuykill, joined by our friends Zach and Adrienne. The pictures tell the story of the powder-pleasure we discovered there 🙂
