Nice report.
When I look at this picture of Witches Tower, I wonder what the lichen on the tower signifies.
Does the sharp transition from almost-no-lichen (below) to lots-of-lichen (above) indicate a massive amount of rock fall? Or does it mark the line of a not-so-long-extinct glacier? To my eye, the latter seems more likely.
Either alterna...

Shreddar, I think we chatted for a while at the prow. And I think I see my party of two stopped for a water/sunblock break in the second picture! I was wondering what that chopper was up to. Kyle and I found a slightly less dubious connection to glacier basin. One of a handful of dirt/grass skinning moments before the basin. It was our first trip to this side of the mountain as well, and it turned into an awesome day for a ski!
John/Scott, as Mike noted, we eyed your line all the way to the top of the pass, all the more impressive in real life. A great ski, for me, thanks to the consummate fun hog (Mike) I was lured down Aasguard, and there was a spot or two that made me pucker just a little, but as is always the case so exciting to have done it, not to mention the added bonus, of stepping of on the trail at the lake! A few shots of the Fun hog in his element!
Thanks for a great day of new views and slopes Tim!
