A quick dawn patrol put us up high for sunrise. Alas, our vantage didn't let us see first light on Red, but it must have been beautiful.
For the powder-starved, the ~6" of rightside up fresh felt wonderful underfoot. Bond quality was quite good at ~4.5k and below, moderate above. Snow wasn't super light, but contrails flew.
A couple laps at Alpy turned up fun skiing too - there was enough powder to go around. A tiny traverse above the lower entrance to International cut the top 6" loose easily.
An excellent morning after so much Snoqualmie sadness.

Yep. He brought implements of dental hygiene along on a sub-2 hour tour.
One cold night, after quite too much drink, old man Nansen came to me in a vision, and shared this with a smile and wink. He accent was think, and strange to my ear, but later that day the meaning was clear.
