Two Good, Too Bad

Thursday we had a very good tour. First, we went up Snoqualmie Mountain, where trail-breaking duties were shared by the H Bomb, SS, and our new friend Christophe. Christophe taught me how the French say "break trail," while also helping with the duties. Merci pour faire la trace, mon ami.

We carefully skied an avalanche-wary route into Commonwealth Basin. Thence we skinned and booted up Red Mountain. The turns down Red Mountain were amazing.

SS nears nirvana on the first clear day in a month.

Thursday we had two good summits. It was almost too good. Time for a little suffering.

Here is Jason at 2:30 am on Friday, ready for a sadistic sortie.
