Thanks for the comment and vote! Although carrying skis on your back gets heavy sometimes, snow actually makes everything much more pleasant IMHO. And the downhill usually takes <1 hour even for very long routes!!
This is a great trip report! Believe me, I don't need any other reasons to be dreaming for the ski season for you went and gave me one. I'm prayin' for snow followed by a lengthy spring and summer snowpack.

Re: QualityThanks! Yup, it's that time of year when the ski gear comes back out and stays in the living room until next summer :-)

SkepticalHmmm, even though this looks great, it is the worst area ever!! Never good snow, always crowded. No that's not me smiling in those photos.
