Re: Love this shot

Thanks, if you don't know the skier is there, then he's easy to miss. Otherwise he's obvious. But, maybe I should use the word you.

Very cool!

Mysterious. The snowy backdrop and the light-shadows on the slope. The skier adds human scale.

Re: Very cool!

Thanks, this was one of my favorite ski trips of the year and I hope to visit this area again either this year or the next.

So, the objective was to

ski UP the saddle. Are you using the "skin"
on the bottoms of your skis ??? Skinny skiing?

Any avalanche danger on this one?

It makes me 'want to munch' on a "mini-sirloin burger" from a fast-food joint.

: )) Outstanding job !! : ))

[My wife & I are headed up there. No more
snowstorms, right?] : ))))

Re: So, the objective was to

Thank you Larry. The slope seemed very stable when we were on it. As to the no more snowstorms, ha, ha, ha.
