As we toured towards Kendall Peak, the clouds promised to clear and offer up some blue sky. Keeping their word, the clouds moved around and through the valley all day, offering up some great views of Snoqualmie Mountain, Red Mountain, and Mount Rainier.
Carly -my stepsister- came along with her split board and enjoyed a few turns. Then, she and I headed out and home. I'm not certain she enjoyed the hike/ski out as this was much more difficult with a split-board...but she hung in there and had a smile on her face in the end. Ed and Brandon stayed out for a few more runs and came back just as the sun was going down.
Although we had recently seen a good deal of fresh snow, the slope had seen some wind and also had a melt-freeze layer that made the skiing a bit crusty. Still, a 'not-great' day in the backcountry is still pretty spectacular.
