Deep Days (22 Dec 2013)

It was deep alright. Frank, enjoying some time in the White Room.

We had been devoid of fresh snowfall for two weeks. We were teased with a skiff of fluffy white stuff on Thursday morning, and the forecast for snowfall in the near-coming days was not very promising. Imagine our delight when we awoke to 4-inches of fresh on Friday morning. And it snowed all day long and into the night. The 8-inches of storm total for the ski area easily translated to over a foot in the backcountry. It was time to go reap some deep.

I never get tired of this stunning view. And this snow-cloud continued to blanket our western peaks the entire day.

We were greeting by a setting waning moon.

The day couldn’t have been more beautiful.

As we dropped in, we found the snow to be much deeper than expected – always a pleasant surprise. Liz wore a permagrin the whole way down.

Frank.

Me.

Cold smoke, all the way to the valley floor 🙂
