Here is a truly poetic quote from the National Weather Service Seattle Area Discussion today:
Now that we're deep in the clutches of an epic weather cycle, how about a review of a few pictures from a tour with "good" weather last Sunday, the last day of 2006?
Old E, GM, and SS toured to a bump near the top of Lundin Peak from Commonwealth Basin, skied roughly 2,500' into the basin to the north toward Goldmyer Hot Springs, then capped the day with another descent of the SW Ridge on Red.
GM before the day's first descent, with Red Mountain in the background.
SS skis toward Thompson.
GM climbs Red with Lundin in the background.
Old E skis Red with intoxicating views of Tahoma.
