December 13, 2012, Stevens Pass

Bluebird day, no wind, cold in the shade. We skied perfect courderoy for a couple hours.  Then we headed to Southern Cross to get warm in the sun and skied tracked slopes and big groomers.  The hike to Hollywood Bowl was plenty warm, thanks dod and shred for trailbreaking.  The run was beautiful (hence the name?) uncut 12-18" powder, and from the powerlines back to the bottom was cut up similar powder.

After lunch I got rid of the Lange Race boots, big 188cm s7 skis, and Baron bindings in exchange for my trusty Manaslus and TLT5P boots.  We walked the ridge north of Big Chief, then dropped into shin deep untracked snow of Wenatchee Bowl and rode it down to Highway 2.  Good weather, good snow, good work, good friends.

I'thinking of heading up tomorrow. What was the off piste stuff like?
