... headed out again on Sunday with Muscle Girl Sarah and ZMan - shuttled some vehicles and bypassed the long climb in this time and took the shorter quarter mile approach across the top of the ridge...
... and headed directly to the two miles of downhill...
... still some great powder happenin'...
... cruising on the 110's - some fast moving in yesterdays tracks - another inch of overnight powder didn't hurt either...
... after a mile of the steeps decided to take a detour over to an adjacent knobby ridge...
... a half mile of steep climbing gets ya' to the top...
... and some even better downhill on the return...
... three hundred foot drop from top to bottom...
... with some fast gliding...
... ZMan first time ever on the backcountry boards showing some nice natural parallel technique...
... did very well...
... Sarah rounding the bends and showing some pretty good natural telemark technique in the above sequence of images - not bad...
... ZMan good control with the parallel...
... nearing the final turn and bottom of the run...
... good work...
... final mile and return to the trailhead...
... takin' a short break at this small rock overlook to warm up the fingers in the late afternoon sun - don't think it got above eight degrees all day - was a rough day on the digits...
... short trip distance wise - around four miles - with a little over a half mile of steep climbing and eleven hundred feet of total drop... not bad..
... hey, we're not out west nor up in New England, but not bad for SWPA...
