So what are you planning to do in the Himalayas this year?
I would have joined you guys but I just don't have the money right now. Simply just going to work on my peak-bagging in the western US states this summer and fall. I will make it there very soon though.

Since my son will only be 10, we'll probably be doing Chhukhung Peak and Kala Pattar, which will still be a respectable trip. He really wants to do Imja Tse/Island Peak, but I don't know if I would let him.
Scott- I think the lines in your photo are actually just compacted snow that hasn't melted out yet. I have driven by the ranch on US 24 a couple of times this winter and there were groomed tracks that I think were a nordic skiing track or maybe for dogsledding or something that they do on the ranch? I do remember then having a very ribbon like pattern from what I could see from the road. Its cool seeing them from the "air" like that, they look really cool!

Me neither. I think they are just frozen streams, but they look just like the Nazca Lines!
