There a lot of folks here in the PNW who actually ski year-round. I’m not one of them. But I do love backcountry skiing and there really is nothing like that first ski tour of the year. Despite a pretty abysmal start to the winter, we were lucky to hit Mt Rainier on a very good day considering.
I always have the problem of trying to keep up with the group while fumbling with my camera in an attempt snap photographs. This day was no exception, but it didn’t matter. “The Mountain” was beautiful (as it always is, good visibility or not.)
I love winter. I love backcountry skiing. Now, where the hell is the snow!
