Slackfest 2010 - Spring skiing on Washington 5/23

[David Metsky]

A wonderful day of fun in the sun, this past Sunday. The Auto Road opened on Saturday and we took advantage of the fresh powder.

Mike's first run - like buttah!

Back up to do it again

Getting ready for the next run

Dave, Do you figure that after the warm temperatures this week even the snowfields will be essentially gonzo?

Dale's Pale Ale in cans rules in the back country!

Love the snowfields...your shots captured the joy of being there in May! Wonderful report!

 

[audrey]

Those smiles say it all. I'm envious, in this 92 degree heat.

Good stuff!

No, they'll hold on a bit longer, at least a few more weeks.

No, they'll hold on a bit longer, at least a few more weeks.

Hope so. I'm planning to ski them on Sunday, May 30.

Pulease ask Linda where she got those pink ski poles.

What section of Washington did you ski?

Those are the summit snowfields, right near the 6000' parking area.

Dave,
It's not too late at all. Actually refreshing considering the 95 temperature and high humidity here today.

Slackfest is all about using the Auto Road.

just purusing and catching up after not visiting VFTT much for a while and I knew by the title this would be good. Nice job capturing the scenes and sharing, and nice job enjoying it all as well...

happy trails
