Training

The ski season is officially here and I consider it early enough to get some good training in. Today Jefe and I spend the day inbounds at Stevens Pass Mountain Resort. Later in the afternoon we jumped across the road for some slack country touring. It was a good leg burn with pretty unfortunate skiing down. The wind had exposed last weeks rain crust aka blue ice. Repeat tomorrow. Hope it snows!

Stevens Pass

This year I am focusing on educating myself about backcountry safety and spending more time earning my turns. My first day on skis this year was touring up to Skyline Ridge in Stevens Pass with Jeff. The conditions were still thin and did not permit us to ski what we wanted but the touring was good.

This year is La Nina and so far she has been living up to her name. The Pacific Northwest has already received a fair amount of storms and other regions such as Utah and Colorado are getting storm after storm.
