Dampened sounds and little drop offs

Yesterday was such a fun day, I didn't hesitate when the chance came up to go backcountry skiing again today. I went with Kevin - it was our first time out skiing together and by all accounts it was a great day. We went back to West Mail Creek and found plenty of soft powder on north facing glades to ski (every other aspect had a killer sun crust). The snow and clouds dampened sounds, making for a peaceful setting. The smell of spring hung fresh and crisp in the air. And a settled snowpack revealed some big, fallen logs - interesting little drop offs, to say the least.

Kevin drops off one of the big, fallen logs scattered through the glades we were skiing.

Zippy watches as I ski into view.

Kevin is all smiles at the top.
