In search of snow....
It started with a facebook picture from a friend who climbed Throop Peak on 6-15.
There looked to be a line still going down to the road.[/B]
So we rallied on Sunday to find some turns locally.
The road has been closed longer than usual because of this landslide.It kept quite a few people from making it back to where the snow still is.
Big Tim had his best pair of rock skis today.The retractable surf fins were pretty cool,heh...
Made it to the Pacific Crest Trail junction in a hour.Big Tim and his son Corey doing "The Point".
1.5 hours of climbing got us to the summit.
Then the Audubon Society showed up...
They were looking for the rare "Red Breasted Cross Bill".True story...
We were asked why we had skis? I thought about that myself???? Big Tim explained to them that we were looking for the rare "White Breasted Linked Turn".
They were lucky enough to also see it.
Of course we had to do some Pine Cone skiing between that white stuff.
Corey getting after it.
The Mother Lode was waiting at the bottom of our session.15 linked turns
Big Tim.
Twins.
Corey.
This makes it 4 years in a row for a late season trip here.Lots of laughs and a little bit of skiing.Its all good.
