John Hanson, Chris Moestick and I hiked to the Pinnacle Peak saddle under blue skies and a welcomed breeze.  There were snow patches on the trail and if your thinking about this area - take shoes.  The skiing was pretty good, starting at the saddle.  Returning to the car we were able to mostly ski down to about 5200 feet, traveling due north, where we intersected the trail. 
It's  8)  that you guys got out.

Fun day in the mountains!  Thanks for being the tour guide Dave.  Here's a couple pics:




A great day for July turns!  Thanks for everything guys!  ;)

- I liked the skins, for the Coombas, hangin' off the 'backside'!  And the sunny skies.
